PROVO — Many scholars believe there's no such thing as perfect Bible translation, yet despite the flaws in the King James Version of the Bible, it remains the version treasured by much of the world, including members of the LDS Church. During a three-day symposium sponsored by BYU in honor of the KJV's 400th anniversary this year, scholars shared insights about the translation's connection with the LDS faith, its historical background, textual distinctions and literary influence.

And CBS News is not alone in its views. Other members of the media have pointed out that Huntsman and Romney’s religion could be a major drawback in their candidacies.
Across our worldwide Church, children, youth, and adults are studying Matthew 1 and Luke 1, which tells of the miraculous conception of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.
