the Book of the Remnant (church) _2002-2018

featuring the small books of Brigham Young, John Taylor, and Wilford Woodruff in Utah, and a larger book of Joseph Smith III, the president of the church in Missouri (via Iowa) for 50 years. (Also featuring the book of the Testimony of Joseph Smith) These books represent the second book of Doctrines and Covenants, if they were presented in chronological order they could amount to D&C 136-180. They also belong to the very large Book of the Word of the Lord, another name for the Doctrines and Covenants type of literature. (Don't know why nobody's ever brought them together before) Almost ready for publication! Other than the prophet James Strang 1845-1856, and a large unavailable book by Sydney Rigdon, these books represent all of the (known) Mormon prophets and divine scriptures of the 1800s.

Beginning in the 1960s, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS [now Community of Christ]) has modified its understanding of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith’s prophetic charisms. Where the RLDS were earlier permitted to read the Book of Mormon as nineteenth-century fiction, they are now encouraged by their leaders to do so, though they are still permitted to find in it, if they wish, some inspiring passages. These changes have been resisted by a conservative minority that has lost the battle for control of the Reorganization and now tends to worship outside RLDS congregations. A few Latter-day Saints have also begun to read the Book of Mormon as fiction. Their efforts to turn the Book of Mormon into nineteenth-century fiction have been opposed by competent Latter-day Saint scholarship, though not without resistance from those who control independent and liberal publishing ventures.
