THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE
THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE: From the Great Apostasy to the Restoration of the Gospel BY - ELDER J. H. WARD Original publication: 1883 The Church today has a particular understanding of how world history led up to the Restoration; this book shows Ward’s 19th century understanding of that topic, including discussion of Rome, the Middle East, the Reformation, the Americas, etc. I’m not sure to what extent Ward was popularizing existing theories vs. breaking new ground, but either way this is interesting stuff from a historiographical perspective.
