5 Teachings from the Apocrypha Latter-day Saints Can Learn From

Laura Harris Hales of LDS Perspectives Podcast recently interviewed Jared Ludlow on Exploring the Apocrypha from a Latter-day Saint Perspective, a new book that introduces to a Latter-day Saint audience what the Apocrypha is and how it was treated in the early Church by Joseph Smith and others. It also gives a book-by-book overview of the contents of the Apocrypha and what a Latter-day Saint reader might glean from it. While the Apocrypha is mentioned in Doctrine and Covenants 91 when Joseph Smith asked whether he should translate it as part of his Bible translation project (the JST), it is usually not read by members because Joseph Smith received a “no” answer, and subsequently, it never became part of the scriptural canon.

Sponsored: The Newest Adventures at Ruby’s Inn

By Ruby's Inn

In 1916, when Reuben C. Syrett — Ruby to his friends — settled in the wilds of Southern Utah, he was unaware of the unique landscape nearby. A couple of weeks after the move, another rancher told him about the local canyon called Bryce, named for a man who’d lost his cow among the hoodoos decades before. Traveling to see it one Sunday with his family, Ruby was so taken with the beauty of the place, he began to spread the word about the unusual geology—an amphitheater of delicate rock spires the color of a sunset.

One Crucial Phrase We Often Get Wrong in the Church (+ How It Can Change Our Temple Experience)

By Taylor Halverson

Words matter. Precision in communication matters. For example, the words used in sacramental prayers over the bread and water are prescribed (see D&C 20:77, 79). The bishop as an overseer (the literal meaning of the word for “bishop” in Greek is episkopos, meaning “overseer”) ensures that the priests have said the prayer properly, correctly, and with precision. Otherwise, the prayer needs to be said again, correctly.
