The "Lectures on Faith" is a set of seven lectures on the doctrine and
theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The lectures were
originally presented by Joseph Smith to a group of elders in a course known as
the "School of the Prophets" in the early winter of 1834-35 in Kirtland, Ohio.
Although authorship of the lectures is uncertain, studies suggest that the
actual wording was largely by Sidney Rigdon, with substantial involvement and
approval by Smith and possibly others. The lectures were published in 1835 as
the "Doctrine" portion of the volume entitled Doctrine and Covenants of the
Church of the Latter Day Saints. Some Latter Day Saint denominations have
subsequently removed the lectures from the D&C.; The LDS Church removed the
lectures from the D&C; in the 1921 edition, with an explanation that the
lectures "were never presented to nor accepted by the Church as being
otherwise than theological lectures or lessons". Mormon apologists give
several reasons to explain why the Lectures were removed from the scriptural
volumes of the LDS Church. Today, the Lectures on Faith are part of the
Restoration Edition of the Scriptures, an edition of the Latter Day scriptures
used by the Fellowships of the remnants.
