The Doctrine and Covenants is a foundational scripture in Mormonism, alongside the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Pearl of Great Price. It primarily contains revelations given by Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, between 1830 and 1844. These revelations provided ongoing guidance and theological instruction for the early church. Different editions of the Doctrine and Covenants exist, with variations in the included revelations depending on the specific denomination, such as the Utah-based LDS Church and the Community of Christ.12
