About this title

Synopsis

The volumes in the Studies in Scripture series contain collections of essays written to give greater insight into history and doctrine of the standard works of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Recognizing that there is no substitute for sincere and serious study of the scriptures themselves, the authors have worked to point Latter-days Saints toward the wealth of wisdom and inspired direction to be discovered in the Lord’s word. These detailed discussions by deeply committed and believing LDS scholars have become a classic addition to many libraries. The new paperback editions make them easier to use and more accessible to everyone.

This volume of gospel scholarship edited by Robert L. Millet and Kent P. Jackson gives greater insight into historical and doctrinal aspects of the revelations, epistles, and instructions that constitute the Doctrine and Covenants. Many of the historical details are based on recent research and draw from newly available primary sources, providing up-to-date and fresh views into the vital principles taught in this important book of scripture.
