Much of the LDS Church's teachings regarding man's relationship to God and the significance of faith are reflected in these discussions. Through the years, scholars have developed varying opinions regarding the Lectures on Faith and The School of the Prophets. Some have said much of the material represented in the seven lectures came from a variety of participating brethren during sessions in those sacred upper rooms of the Newell K. Whitney store and God's "...house of prayer, house of fasting, house of faith, house of learning, house of glory, house of order, house of God," the Holy Kirtland Temple. For us, today, the dynamic teachings and proclamations that came from both Joseph and/or those humble, sincere men teach us tremendous insight and truth. It is for those who seek that same understanding and Divine truth today to glean for their own use the doctrines and teachings of those powerful lectures.
