Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Added Upon" by Nephi Anderson is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores themes of faith, agency, and the eternal progression of souls through a narrative that intertwines spiritual and earthly experiences, focusing on the interaction between characters in a celestial setting and their forthcoming earthly lives. The story is particularly significant for followers of the Latter-day Saint movement, providing insights into gospel teachings about pre-mortal existence, agency, and salvation. The opening of "Added Upon" introduces us to a celestial council where the children of God gather to discuss a monumental plan leading to their mortal experiences on Earth. The narrative sets up the conflict between the plans proposed by Christ and Lucifer, highlighting the importance of agency and the different beliefs among the spirits. Key characters such as Homan, Delsa, and Sardus emerge as they engage in dialogue reflecting on the upcoming trials they will face in mortality. Their conversations reveal not only their emotional responses to the council's decisions but also the connections they share with one another, foreshadowing their future interactions on Earth.
