Book Description
Joseph Smith, the founding prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and of the broader Latter-day Saint movement, produced several volumes of scripture between 1829, when he translated the Book of Mormon, and 1844, when he was murdered. The Book of Mormon, published in 1830, is well known. Less read and studied are the subsequent texts that Smith translated after the Book of Mormon, texts that he presented as the writings of ancient Old World and New World prophets. These works were published and received by early Latter-day Saints as prophetic scripture that included important revelations and commandments from God. This collaborative volume is the first to study Joseph Smith's translation projects in their entirety. In this carefully curated collection, experts contribute cutting-edge research and incisive analysis. The chapters explore Smith's translation projects in focused detail and in broad contexts, as well as in comparison and conversation with one another. Authors approach Smith's sacred texts historically, textually, linguistically, and literarily to offer a multidisciplinary view. Scrupulous examination of the production and content of Smith's translations opens new avenues for understanding the foundations of Mormonism, provides insight on aspects of early American religious culture, and helps conceptualize the production and transmission of sacred texts.

Book Description
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints "believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly." The Prophet Joseph Smith said that he "believe[d] the Bible as it read when it came from the pen of the original writers. Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors." The Prophet also observed that "it was apparent that many important points touching the salvation of men, had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled." From the early days of the restoration of the gospel, the Lord told Joseph Smith that a translation of the Bible was necessary to restore these doctrines. The Prophet began his inspired revision of the Bible in June 1830 and finished it in July 1833.Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke of the effect that the Prophet Joseph had on the Bible when he said: "[The Prophet] revised and added to the King James Version of the Bible by the spirit of inspiration, doing more to perfect that volume of holy writ and to return it to its state of pristine perfection than any single person has ever done." This Study Version is not meant to replace the official King James Version of the Bible published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This book is meant to be a study tool to help you engage in a more meaningful and comprehensive study of Jesus Christ and His words. It contains the entire text of the Old Testament from Genesis through Deuteronomy and Isaiah and shows the Prophet's inspired revisions in bold type. As you read these inspired revisions seamlessly verse by verse and chapter by chapter you will begin to discover the "pristine perfection"of the Old Testament as restored through Joseph Smith, the Prophet.
