About this title

Synopsis

“Excellent scholarship and insights into Latter-day Saint scripture.” — Roger Terry, BYU Studies Quarterly
“Another solid addition to Greg Kofford Books’ already impressive output.” — Walker Wright,Times and Seasons
“Every single essay in this collection is top-notch.” — David Banack, Wheat & Tares

Among the most distinctive and defining features of Mormonism is the affirmation of continuing revelation through modern day prophets and apostles. An important component of this concept is the acknowledgement of an open canon—that the body of authoritative scriptural texts can expand as new revelations are made available and presented to the membership for ratification.This volume brings together both Mormon and non-Mormon scholars to examine the place, purpose, and meaning of the LDS Standard Works (Christian Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price) in the Mormon tradition, as well as the extra-canonical sources that play a near-scriptural role in the lives of believers. Approaching LDS scripture from a variety of disciplines, methodologies, and perspectives, these scholars offer new insights into both the historical and contemporary understandings of Mormon continuing revelation.
