Revelations in Context

The Stories Behind the Sections of the Doctrine and Covenants

By: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Narrated by: full cast

This book contains stories told from the point of view of those who experienced the revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants, giving us insight into their meaning. While the section headings provide context for the revelations, they don't tell the complete story. What questions prompted the revelations? What did the Lord's responses mean to those He addressed? How did they respond? Perfect for study with the Doctrine and Covenants.

Comprehensive review of the Revelations

Enjoyed listening; but found it difficult to follow as the discussion was not completely chronological. Would have liked to also follow along with a text document.

Rich With History!!

I love this history. I really enjoyed listening. My understanding has increased. I cried my eyes out during the chapter of "Remembering The Martyrdom" I mourned as if I was there. The added history context of the manifesto with the scriptural doctrine was fascinating. Many of the stories shared weren't the traditional narrative learned in primary or Sunday school. New details, new journal accounts, different perspectives about the same events made this a new treasure in my library. I know I will listen to it again.

Great book on LDS church history!

This was a great book portraying the revaluations through the history of establishing the LDS church with a lot of facts about some of the more prominent figures during this time.

I Gained a Greater Perspective

Having paid close attention in seminary during the year we studied The Doctrine and Covenants, and having always been fascinated by the History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I thought this would simply be a review of what I already knew, but it was much more. It made me think more deeply about the wise of this holy book. My testimony was strengthened as I listened to the explanations of all that surrounded the events that led to each revelation, section, or declaration. I'm glad I listened to this!

Great Insight into the Doctrine and Covenants

I gained a lot of insight into the events that prompted the revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants. Very well-written and nicely narrated.
