The Church of the Old Testament

One of the unique features of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that it has the same ecclesiastical organization as the Church revealed by God in the beginning to his prophets-and that this same organization has been basically the same in all dispensations. In The Church of the Old Testament, author John A. Tvedtnes describes the Church in ancient times and compares its ecclesiastical organization with the Church at the time of the Savior's ministry on earth and with the Church now. He affirms that the same priesthood authority that Jesus brought to earth existed with the ancient prophets and has been restored in our day to modern prophets. "All that God has promised in the Old Testament, even in regard to Israel in the latter days, must come to pass," he writes. "Therefore, the Old Testament is relevant to our modern era and has very great value for us." All who seek a better understanding of the Church throughout each of the major dispensations will find this book stimulating and informative.
