(Matthias Foss) 1858 1940 Cowley, Matthias Foss Cowley's Talks on Doctrine Produced by Renah Holmes and the Mormon Texts Project (MormonTextsProject.org). "Cowley's Talks on Doctrine" by Matthias F. Cowley is a religious text likely written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a collection of discourses on the principles and doctrines of the Gospel as understood by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It aims to convey essential theological concepts, such as apostasy, divine authority, and the importance of modern revelation, particularly focusing on the teachings of its early prophets. The opening of the text sets the stage with a preface that expresses the author’s conviction that the work will provide satisfaction and insight for both church members and those curious about its teachings. Cowley introduces themes of apostasy, divine authority, and the necessity for a restoration of the Gospel, referencing various biblical scriptures to substantiate these claims. The opening chapters emphasize the historical context of the church's beliefs, particularly the idea that the true church was lost to the world and needed to be restored through modern prophets, such as Joseph Smith. The tone is instructive and persuasive, aiming to arm the reader with a framework for understanding the doctrine of the Latter-day Saints as a response to contemporary religious views.
