The Apostleship

Bruce E. Dana gathers scriptural passages and statements from prophets and apostles to explain the sacred calling of apostleship across dispensations. Beginning with Christ's Jewish Twelve and the Nephite Twelve, the book traces how Joseph Smith became an apostle, how the first modern Quorum was chosen, and how succession, keys, and seniority operate today. Rich with firsthand accounts of how apostles were called, it offers Latter-day Saints a well-documented, easy-to-read reference on one of the Church's most revered offices.

• Answers the common member's questions about how apostles are called, ordained, and succeed one another
• Collects firsthand accounts of apostles learning they would be called—including prophecies fulfilled decades later
• Traces the office of apostle across all three dispensations under one cover
• Documents the little-known 'apostles not of the Twelve' and the shrinking succession timeline

Perfect for a committed Latter-day Saint who wants a documented, quotation-rich reference on the calling, authority, and succession of apostles.
