About the Book

Twenty-three thought-provoking essays exploring and explaining the great truths found in the Doctrine and Covenants have been selected from more than three decades of symposia and conferences held at Brigham Young University and from the Ensign. Written by General Authorities and religious educators, these chapters are filled with insights into the "capstone" scriptures of the Church. This book is arranged in the order that the revelations came forth and covers a wide variety of gospel topics.
