Doctrine and Covenants

The Doctrine and Covenants is a sacred text used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It is a collection of revelations, inspired teachings, and recorded visions received by Joseph Smith and other early leaders of the LDS Church throughout its history.

The Doctrine and Covenants is organized into sections, each containing specific revelations or teachings given to Joseph Smith and other leaders. These revelations cover a wide range of topics, including theology, doctrine, organizational structure, moral guidance, and instructions for building the kingdom of God on Earth.

Some key themes and topics addressed in the Doctrine and Covenants include the restoration of priesthood authority, the organization of the church, principles of governance and administration, the nature of God and Jesus Christ, the role of prophets and revelation, the plan of salvation, principles of faith and repentance, and preparations for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Doctrine and Covenants is considered by believers to be a testament of God's ongoing communication with His children and a guide for personal and collective spiritual growth and development. It is studied and used as a source of inspiration, guidance, and instruction within the LDS Church.
