The Book of Mormon is a sacred text to millions worldwide. This Restoration Edition is the most accurate version ever printed, and is remarkable among Christian books both for what it is and what it is not. Like the Bible, it makes the case for Christ as the long-awaited Messiah, Savior and Redeemer of the world. Unlike other scripture that descended through thousands of years of scribal copying, alterations and error, the Book of Mormon was translated only once, directly from the original written manuscripts recorded between 600 BC and 400 AD.It is the record of a first-temple period Jewish family that fled Jerusalem just prior to the Babylonian destruction. They brought with them a pure copy of the earliest Jewish records, including the un-redacted and clear teaching of a coming Messiah. The family crossed the ocean and made their way to ancient America, where their descendants continued the record, which includes information about their worship, doctrines, practices, and beliefs, and culminates with the visit of the resurrected Jesus Christ to their people. They continued the record for another 400 years until their civilization crumbled and their last prophet buried the record in what later became upstate New York.A spiritual seeker named Joseph Smith was led to the buried records in 1823. Thereafter he sought and received the ability to translate the records by the gift and power of God. He published the resulting work as the Book of Mormon in 1830.Since then, many churches have claimed the book as scripture, but largely neglected it and treated it as a book of stories for young readers. The Book of Mormon is not the property of any particular church or denomination. Rather, it is a gift tothe world, inviting all to come unto Christ, and teaching the path back to His presence.This volume is the most accurate version of the Book of Mormon ever produced. The text was compiled using all available original manuscripts, together with Joseph Smith's verbal and written statements and corrections and every version printed under his direction while he was alive. Versification has been replaced by paragraphs and punctuation more true to the original.The six (6) total books comprising the Restoration Edition of the scriptures include:VOLUME 1: THE OLD COVENANTSPart 1: The Old Testament, Genesis - 1 ChroniclesPart 2: The Old Testament, 2 Chronicles - MalachiVOLUME 2: THE NEW COVENANTSBook 1: The New TestamentBook 2: The Book of MormonVOLUME 3: TEACHINGS & COMMANDMENTSBook 1: Teachings & CommandmentsBook 2: A Glossary of Gospel TermsThis is Book 2 of Volume 2: The New Covenants. When combined with Book 1, The New Testament, these constitute a single volume which accurately reflect the covenants that were established by Jesus Christ at Jerusalem as recorded in the New Testament, as well as in the New World at Bountiful, in the Americas.The Book of Mormon is a rich source of doctrine, inspiration, revelation and knowledge of Jesus Christ, his infinite atonement, and the salvation he offers all humankind. A few of the many topics the Book of Mormon covers include: religion and spirituality, inspiration, the bible and other sacred texts, women, men, historic and current Christian denominations and sects, comparative religious studies, worship and devotion, christian living and study, churches and church leadership, history, literature, ministry and evangelism, Protestantism, and theology.This version of the Restoration Edition Book of Mormon is the standard medium print size. Other reference editions, including the Maxwell Institute study edition, and others commonly found in Mormonism, are incomplete when compared with this comprehensive Restoration Edition. Any serious student of Jesus Christ and sacred scripture must read this book.

As one of his most important works, Joseph Smith Jr. spent years making inspired clarifications to the Bible text; however, he was killed before it could be published. Here, for the first time, every known emendation that he wrote or taught has been assembled into the most complete version of Joseph Smith's New Translation of the Bible.In October 1831, Joseph Smith said "except the church receive the fullness of the scriptures that they would yet fall." From that time until his death in 1844, Joseph Smith worked diligently to prepare an edition of the Bible that could be received by the church, and in the process greatly expand the religious understanding of Christians and Christianity of his day. Using a unique spiritual gift, he inquired of God and received thousands of inspired corrections and clarifications, including many pages of text that had been long since removed from Genesis and other parts of the Bible. However, he was murdered before completing the work, and with the scattering of his notes following his death, it was never published in its entirety.Known at the time as the "fullness of the scriptures" and subsequently the "Inspired Version" or the Joseph Smith Translation (JST), portions of Joseph Smith's New Translation of the Bible were collected and published at various times, usually together with hundreds of alterations that were not the work of Joseph Smith. Because no single church, institution or collection had access to all of his journals, notebooks, papers and letters, his inspired work on the project was never gathered and published in a single edition, until now.Today, of the over 88 different English Bible translations available, this Restoration Edition of Joseph Smith's New Translation of the Bible stands alone as the most complete compilation of Joseph's work on this project. The text was carefully compiled and reviewed using all of Joseph's available verbal and written statements.Early Christian reforms, and the availability of the Holy Bible changed the world. But reform and translation alone could not, and cannot, restore lost knowledge or recover unaltered sacred texts. For that, inspiration and revelation from heaven itself is necessary. Joseph Smith answered the call. He was unequaled in his day as a leading religious figure, and his name has been held for both good and evil by Christians worldwide. These scriptures are a new witness of Christ and a sign of His invitation to renew communication with mankind. Religious scholars, students of religion, Christians and seekers of truth alike should prayerfully consider the greatly expanded views of God, his covenants, and his dealings with the human race that are available in this Restoration Edition of the Bible.The six (6) total books comprising the Restoration Edition of the scriptures include:VOLUME 1: THE OLD COVENANTSPart 1: The Old Testament, Genesis - 1 ChroniclesPart 2: The Old Testament, 2 Chronicles - MalachiVOLUME 2: THE NEW COVENANTSBook 1: The New TestamentBook 2: The Book of MormonVOLUME 3: TEACHINGS & COMMANDMENTSBook 1: Teachings & CommandmentsBook 2: A Glossary of Gospel TermsThis is Book 1 of Volume 2: The New Covenants. When combined with Book 2, The Book of Mormon, these constitute a single volume entitled The New Covenants, which accurately reflect the covenants that were established by Jesus Christ at Jerusalem as recorded in the New Testament, as well as in the New World at Bountiful, in the Americas.Topics covered in this volume include religion, spirituality, education, worship, devotion, faith, prayer, theology, protestant fundamentalism, mormonism, ethics, reformation, Jesus Christ, sacred scripture, latter days or end times, Paul, the Apostles, gospel truth, Jewish roots, and more.
