About the author
Born in Warrington, England, in 1857, Brigham Henry Roberts emigrated to the United States as a child and grew up in Utah. He became a leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving as a missionary, preacher, and member of the First Council of the Seventy.
Roberts is best remembered for his writing. He edited the seven-volume History of the Church and wrote the six-volume Comprehensive History of the Church, works that made him one of the best-known Latter-day Saint historians of his era. He also wrote on theology and defended the faith in public debate and print, earning a reputation as an energetic and independent-minded thinker.
His public life reached beyond the church. In 1898 he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah, but after intense national debate he was not allowed to take his seat. He died in Salt Lake City in 1933, leaving behind a large body of religious history, argument, and commentary that continues to be discussed today.
