Original price was: $125.00.Current price is: $100.00.

This version of the Bible, the Holy Scriptures, is the greatest and every Latter Day Saint should read it! It has been received in full as far as the Lord, and His prophet, Joseph Smith Jr. were concerned as of July 2, 1833 and we are commanded to teach these scriptures unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people. This is important and I hope that the darkening of our minds because of unbelief, will not prevent us from fulfilling this commandment.
I only wish that Richard Price, of Price Publishing would have reprinted exactly the first or 1867 edition, exactly and complete with the original title page. This would have been a very valuable book historically if he had done it this way. The original title page reflects the publication by, “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints”. This would have been like the reprints of the 1830 Book of Mormon. Some of the reprints of this work are valuable, as the good quality reprints were only published in 1980 by Deseret Book Company. There have been other reprints since that time which are also valuable, but the Deseret one is the most sought after.
Other than that, this is an excellent quality reprint of the Inspired Version of the Holy Scriptures. One can come closer to understanding the Restoration gospel distinctives by studying this sacred work than he or she could otherwise by only studying the Book of Mormon and the Book of Commandments, and Doctrine and Covenants. I love this book! I appreciate the sacrifices of the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., and his wife Emma, and their children, and grandchildren in bringing this book to us as a priceless heirloom of heritage in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! I stand up and applaud the honest souls in what became known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Well done, thou good and faithful servants!

Description

Leather Bound Hardback Cover.  1st Edition of the Joseph Smith, Jr. Inspired Translation of the King James Version of the Bible, this text is as good as it gets! When this work first came into the hands of Orson Pratt, he and his wife Sarah stayed up until 2 am in the morning reading and comparing it to the KJV and Orson said Sarah, These men have done their work honestly! This translation is just as it was left by the Prophet Joseph in 1833. I could quickly have detected it had they tampered with or altered what he wrote. I am delighted with it, and I thank God that I have received this copy! (A Plainer Translation Joseph Smiths Translation of the Bible: A History and Commentary, by Matthews, BYU Press, p. 228) Editions by other publishers have made some changes to the Joseph Smith, Jr. translation and have reverted back to the KJV text.
