What can latter-day revelation teach us about the Creation, the Atonement and the Second Coming? How can knowing the history of the early days of the Church help us understand the future blessings promised to a worldwide Church? Each section is introduced in its historical context. As we learn the context of familiar verses, we gain new insight into the unfolding doctrines of the Restoration. Drawing on numerous source materials diaries, journals, maps, and atlases- authors bring to life the history and doctrine of this vital standard work.

Volume 1

This first volume of covers, verse by verse, the first 40 sections of the Doctrine and Covenants. It invites us to study more deeply the history and doctrine of the Doctrine and Covenants. And it will reward us amply for our efforts.

Volume 2

The second volume provides a verse-by-verse examination of sections 41 through 80. Although no one but the prophet has the right to declare or define doctrine for the Church and its members (see D&C 43:5-7), learning the historical context often clarifies what is being said. Suddenly, we see familiar verses in a new light and with new insights.

Volume 3

The third volume of a comprehensive four-volume series, provides a verse-by-verse examination of sections 81 through 105.

Volume 4

This final volume of a comprehensive four-volume series provides a verse-by-verse examination of Doctrine and Covenants sections 106 through 138. This volume discusses principles relating to eternal marriage, Church government, the exercise of the priesthood, temple work, the Resurrection, and redemption of the dead.
