Synopsis

Discover the Meaning Behind the Pearl of Great Price

The Pearl of Great Price contains some of the most remarkable teachings in Restoration scripture. Its pages reveal the Creation, the fall of Adam and Eve, the ministry of Enoch, the visions of Moses and Abraham, the origins of the Abrahamic covenant, and Joseph Smith’s account of the First Vision and the coming forth of the Restoration. Yet many passages contain doctrines, symbols, historical details, and prophetic teachings that can be difficult to fully understand without additional explanation. The Pearl of Great Price Explained is a clear and accessible commentary designed to help readers better understand this important book of scripture.

Moving through the text chapter by chapter, this commentary explains key doctrines, historical background, prophetic themes, spiritual principles, covenants, warnings, promises, and connections to the larger message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
