Scott Lloyd Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 The Joseph Smith Papers website has been updated with new documents including Revelation Book 1 and the beginning of the Manuscript History. Check it out: josephsmithpapers.orgIs this new information from what was announced at the Mormon History Association Conference in May, where the newly revamped website was introduced?
Pahoran Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Aa whole series of books and studies of the papers of a man so many deny wrote what he wrote and said what he said whenever it is inconvenient to admit he wrote and said what he did.For example?I mean, if "so many" do that, then it should be easy enough for you to show at least one example, right?And just in case you were wondering: Yes Virginia, this is a call for references.It is an excercise in futility.Actually it's an exercise in something called scholarship. Although some may argue that they are the same thing.Who will make money from it?Why should that matter?Regards,Pahoran

mapman Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Is this new information from what was announced at the Mormon History Association Conference in May, where the newly revamped website was introduced?Yeah, they added the new documents during the last few days. I'm only making this announcement because I happened to notice it, and thought others might be interested. If I understand correctly that announcement in May was about moving the website out of beta. They've been periodically adding more stuff and I think they plan to get everything online from the books eventually. Edited September 1, 2011 by mapman
Ares Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I remember learning in Seminary and Priesthood meetings that Joseph Smith... murmer, murmer, murmer, etc...Pixelmonster- you are off to a bad start. Don't spam threads with a litany of gripes about your church history lessons. Read the board guidelines and come back once you understand the difference between dialogue and diatribe.
David T Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Yes, the brand new additions are:Manuscript Revelation Book 1 (AKA, Book of Commandments and Revelations, IE, the main source for the 1833 Book of Commandments)1835 Minutes of the 12 ApostlesManuscript History of the Church, volume A-1Other recent additions prior to this latest update include: Minute Books 1 & 2The Minute Book of the Female Relief Society of NauvooAll of JS's 1830s JournalsSeveral additional Documents up to 1838.All of which are text-searchable, and also appear in search results coming from lds.org.It's pretty fantastic stuff.
orion88 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 How is the Book of Commandments different from its later replacement with theDoctrine and Covenants?
