Saints (book)
Book series published by the LDS Church
Saints: The Story of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days is a planned four-volume history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), published beginning in 2018.
The first volume of Saints was initially published in fourteen languages and made available as a free digital book.[1] It was written by a team of six writers, edited by another team, and reviewed by several historians for accuracy.[2]
Saints is the first official history published by the LDS Church since general authority B. H. Roberts put together his six-volume chronicle, Comprehensive History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[2] Steven E. Snow is credited with the production and introduction of this new, narrative history of the LDS Church.[3] The first volume was published in September 2018 and sold a reported 340,000 copies; the second volume followed in February 2020.[4] The first volume tackles sensitive topics, "A nearly 600-page book that covers early church history from 1815–1846 doesn't dwell on polygamy, but doesn't entirely skip over it either."[5]
