When you want to look smart in Sunday school, if you want your friends to think you're cool,

when you want to seem wise and not a fool, it's Christy's Corner.

We figured, you know, what's a bigger hot button issue?

Oh, my gosh, all of the kids.

All of the, every kid is talking about it.

Of the emails we receive, I mean, it's greater than 80% around the Apocrypha, I would guess. It is. It really, really is. Yeah. And, you know, even emails that don't directly mention the Apocrypha, I think that that's what they're implying. Yeah, we're picking up what you're putting down, and that's what we're gonna do a 13-parter on the Apocrypha. Yeah, we're gonna do 17 parts on the Apocrypha of Christian Scripture. So this is a revelation in the doctrine and covenants, so I'm not just making this up, even though it sounds like I am. Unlike all of the other material we present on this podcast,

this is not made up. This is a section that's received in 1833, and it's actually related to

Joseph Smith's translation of the Bible. So one of the cool aspects of section 91 is that it's

clearly a response to another commandment that Joseph has received from the Lord. You don't get to

see this terribly often in Joseph Smith's work, but you do get to see it occasionally where

it's not just the church that's receiving

a direction from these revelations and acting on it, that it's Joseph himself.

So the day before Section 91 is received, it's received March 9th of 1833, another section of the

doctrine and covenants, another revelation was received, Section

90. Very convenient for us that they're back to back that way. But thank you, Orson, Pratt,

for reorganizing the doctrine and covenants in 1876. But the previous revelation, I think

most people know doctrine and covenant section 90 more, because there's a lot more in it about the duties and roles of leadership. I think a lot of people know the phrase from verse 15 of

section 90 that to study and learn and become acquainted with all good books and with languages, tongues

and peoples, you know, that there's an educational aspect to it.

Well, why do I say that D&C 90 kind of causes this, uh, this revelation of doctrine

in covenant section 91 the next day?

Because part of what Joseph is told in this revelation, doctrine in coming section 90,
