Because of our location in time and good record keeping, we are privileged to have an up close and personal view of the production of modern scriptural

canon and as we get into it it's a bit of a roller coaster from its first

publication in 1835 to its current version today the doctrine and covenants has undergone major

additions deletions rearrangements and textual changes in today's episode of church history, we'll take a ride through the history of this iterative production of the doctrine and covenants from its earliest 1833 version, known as the Book of Commandments, to its 1835 version, which added new

revelations and seven major theological lectures known as the lectures on faith.

To the 1844 version, which added a few crucial revelations, and was the last version most of the

branches of the restoration agreed upon after Joseph's death. To the 1876

version which contained massive additions and rearranging,

to the 1921 version, which decanonized the lectures on faith,

and finally to the version we use today,

which underwent revisions as recently as 2013.

So please keep your arms and legs inside at all times

as we now embark on our tour of the ongoing story of the doctrine and co-coveidence.

I'm Scott Woodward and my co-host is Casey Griffiths.

And today we dive into our sixth episode in this series,

kind of let it slip there real quick I think I think you Freudian showed us that you prefer the doctrine
