Pocket Book of Mormon - 1908 RLDS edition


Recommended Posts

The most recent addition to my Book of Mormon collection is a nice little leatherbound pocket edition of the 1908 "Authorized Version," originally published by the RLDS.

This particular pocket edition was published in 2008 by an organization called Zion Bound. I realize the organization is not connected to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and that the RLDS chapter/verse system is quite different from the official Salt Lake City BoM. However, this little pocket edition is nicely printed and pretty nifty.

Anyone else have unusual, "unofficial" editions of the BoM that you find useful or interesting? Always curious about this topic...

I personally don't see the need for differing versions.
It's not like there are translation options.  I suppose layout and footnotes might provide a bit differing information.  But the text is as Joseph provided it.   I see little purpose in differing editions.

With the Bible it's different.  I like to look at interlinear texts to see what the original words used were.  Because all the translations render them differently and change the meaning.
