Not long after the mobs destroyed the Book of Commandments, the Brethren went to work on compiling another Book of Commandments. However, because the new book would contain more than just commandments, it was agreed that the title would be changed to Doctrine and Covenants. In an 1835 conference, this new Doctrine and Covenants was accepted as scripture.
