About The Joseph Smith Papers, Vol. 2: Revelations And
Product Description The handy one-volume collection of the Book of Commandments, the first edition of the Doctrine and Covenants, and other key early printed versions of Joseph Smith's revelations. This volume of the Revelations and Translations series presents Joseph Smith's revelations in the form that most early Latter-day Saints read and experienced them. The volume features high-quality photographs of each page of the Book of Commandments (1833), the first edition of the Doctrine and Covenants (1835), and seven additional texts added to the second edition of the Doctrine and Covenants (1844). The volume also includes transcripts of twenty-six revelation texts published in the church newspaper The Evening and the Morning Star and its later, reprinted version, Evening and Morning Star. The book also includes a proposed reconstruction of what likely would have been included in the final thirty-two pages of the Book of Commandments and selected photographs of a copy of the Book of Commandments marked up to prepare revelations for publication in the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants. The volume goes hand in hand with the first volume in this series, and together they illuminate the process by which revelations were revised, edited, prepared for publication, and printed. The volume is printed in three colors. Review In Revelations and Translations, Volume 2: Published Revelations, the Joseph Smith Papers editors have not only maintained their very high standard of documentary excellence, but they have transformed the scholarly approach to Joseph Smith's revelation. The revelation texts and other materials presented in this volume are a pillar that still stands, supporting the lived religion of millions. Documenting the construction of that pillar, and the mechanics involved, the editors deftly present their unparalleled familiarity with the source material. We will all benefit from the avenues of research now open. --J. Stapley, "Review: The Joseph Smith Papers, Published Revelations," By Common Consent (blog), Aug. 2, 2011 The Joseph Smith Papers Project is engaged in scholarly work of the highest caliber--their documentary editing skills and presentation expertise are par excellence in Mormon academic circles. . . .

The academic scholarship is vigorous, the research is thorough, and the presentation is attractive and inviting. --Ben P., "Where Heaven Meets Earth; Or, the Importance of the Joseph Smith Papers," Juvenile Instructor (blog), Mar. 27, 2011 About the Author Richard E.
