AVAILABLE NOW online and in select Deseret Book stores
“Understanding Joseph Smith’s Translation of the Bible,” by Kent P. Jackson, takes a fresh look at what the Joseph Smith Translation is, what it contains, what it teaches, and how the Prophet arrived at its text. Written for scholars and general audience alike, this book is the ideal introduction into this important part of Joseph Smith’s prophetic ministry. However, its main message is that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior of the world.
