During 2025, children, youth, and adults in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are encouraged to study the Doctrine and Covenants at home. This study will be supported in Primary, Sunday School, and Seminary. The Doctrine and Covenants is unique among the Church’s standard works as it is not a translation of an ancient text as are the Bible, Book of Mormon, and Pearl of Great Price. The Doctrine and Covenants is a compilation of revelations given to prophets in answers to prayers as they worked to establish the Church and do the Lord’s work. The “Come, Follow Me” curriculum helps members worldwide in their study of the Doctrine and Covenants at home. Other digital tools also amplify personal and family study, such as Historic Nauvoo and Carthage Jail, Revelations in Context: The Stories Behind the Sections of the Doctrine and Covenants, Saints: The Story of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days, Church History Topics, and Illustrated Doctrine and Covenants Stories.
“One of the things that people find challenging in engaging with the Doctrine and Covenants a lot of the times is that it does not have a narrative,” said Lisa Olsen Tait, who is a Church historian with an expertise on Latter-day Saint women’s history. “The text itself doesn’t tell a story that you can hold on to in the way that the Book of Mormon does, for example, with people speaking, characters to follow and a storyline.”
