Best LDS Volumes on the Great Apostasy and Restoration

This is a listing of what I consider to be the best works from a Latter-day Saint perspective offering both biblical and historical evidences for the LDS understanding of the Great Apostasy and Restoration of the Gospel through the Prophet Joseph Smith.

Barry R. Bickmore, Restoring the Ancient Church: Joseph Smith and Early Christianity (2d ed.)

Scott R. Peterson, Do the Mormons have a Leg to Stand on? A Critical Look at LDS Doctrines in Light of the Bible and the Teachings of the Early Christian Church

Idem. Where have all the Prophets Gone? Revelation and Rebellion in the Old Testament and the Christian World
