Studies in Scripture, vol. 2: The Pearl of Great Price

The Lord spoke anciently to his lawgiver, Moses: "And in a day when the children of men shall esteem my words as naught and take many of them from the book which thou shalt write, behold, I will raise up another like unto thee; and they shall be had again among the children of men—among as many as shall believe" (Moses 1:41). Through Joseph Smith the lawgiver the Lord has begun the process of restitution, the gradual unfolding of plain and precious truths which had been lost to the religious world through the centuries. Through the mighty Prophet of the Restoration, God has chosen to reveal not only priesthoods and keys and organizations, but also priceless insights regarding the lives and ministries of prophets and personalities of a distant past.

Studies in Scripture, Volume 2: The Pearl of Great Price is the second in a series of volumes intended to enhance and supplement one's personal study of the revelations found in the Standard Works of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Recognizing that there is no substitute for a sincere and serious study of the scriptures themselves, this series, Studies in Scripture, is presented as a resource, an aid in pointing members of the Church toward the profound realities to be discovered in the books which comprise our scriptural canon.
