Looking at the Doctrine and Covenants Again for the Very First Time James McConkie

"Search these commandments," the Lord himself said of the Doctrine and Covenants, "for they are true and faithful, and the prophecies and promises which are in them shall all be fulfilled." (D& C 1:37.) In Looking at the Doctrine and Covenants Again for the Very First Time, James W. McConkie II provides unique commentary on the most contemporary volume of scripture in the LDS canon. This study companion provides an insightful and faithful approach for all who desire to learn the restored gospel in the context of places and events in the history of the Church. Carefully researched and thoughtfully written, this comprehensive volume organizes resources, important concepts, and fundamental doctrines around sections and places where they were revealed, thus providing essential context to each of the sections in the Doctrine and Covenants. The book provides vital historical information and analysis, making it easier for students and teachers alike to understand the text as it was interpreted at the time it was received. It is a valuable resource for Gospel Doctrine teachers and students, a useful tool for anyone who visits Church history sites, and an indispensable help for parents who genuinely want to teach their children.
