The first volume in the Revelations and Translations series will be the next offering published by The Church Historian’s Press as part of the Joseph Smith Papers Project. This series will reproduce the earliest manuscripts of Joseph Smith’s written revelations and translations, together with the official editions of these documents as they were published during his lifetime. These publications include the first edition of the Book of Mormon (1830), the first publication of a collection of Joseph Smith’s revelations called A Book of Commandments (1833) and the first edition of the Doctrine and Covenants (1835). This article by Elder Marlin K. Jensen will be published in future editions of the Ensign and Liahona. It is now posted on LDS.org.
