Teachings and Commandments: Modern Covenants, Book One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956909401)

This Covenant Christian Edition of the Restoration Scriptures improves navigation within the Teachings and Commandments by reintroducing the traditional LDS section and verse numbering system. At the same time, it preserves the paragraph structure and presentation of the text, which helps keep principles and ideas together and avoids the fragmentation that can occur when material is divided into very small one- or two-sentence sections.

LDS D&C navigation aids appear as red section numbers in brackets beside the T&C Section headers with D&C verse numbers shown inline where there is D&C content in the Teachings and Commandments, making these familiar references easy to locate while reading.

Additionally, this edition includes eight additional sections voted upon and canonized by the body of believers in 2025, along with minor edits to section header introductions. This edition also includes corrections identified after the first edition was printed.

Beyond these additions and small changes, the work continues to invite readers to reflect on enduring spiritual questions: What is God doing today? Does He still speak to man? Will He speak to you?

Millions of Christians and others worldwide are looking forward to the return of Jesus Christ to the earth in glory. Earnest seekers of truth will find in Teachings and Commandments a great treasure - authentic writings of men who have seen and conversed with Jesus Christ, starting 200 years ago in 1820 and continuing through today. What did they learn? What did God say to them, and what did God say to the world through them?

Teachings and Commandments boldly declares that the heavens are open again, and that the prophesied days of revelation and warning are already upon us.

This volume contains the most true and accurate compilation of the history and revelations of Joseph Smith, the first modern American prophet. It also includes Lectures on Faith, which was originally published in 1835 as the first part of Doctrine and Covenants, and teaches more about the character, attributes, and perfections of God than any other modern work; and the Book of Abraham as originally restored by revelation to Joseph Smith.

This volume also contains the revelations of Denver Snuffer, another witness of the resurrected Lord who has walked and talked with Him, and the Testimony of St. John as restored by revelation.

Each of the works in this volume has been diligently compared with the originals in an effort to retain only the authentic text of each and to discard all changes subsequently made by others. Of particular interest and value to Christian, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, LDS Mormon, Fundamentalist, and even non-denominational ministers and sects, Teachings and Commandments restores hundreds of ancient religious ideas and truths that have been neglected, pushed aside, and forgotten.
