This is the printed rendition of Joseph Smith's "New Translation" of the Bible, made between 1830-1833, parts of which the LDS Church included in the Pearl of Great Price in 1878. For scholarly studies of this book, see Robert J. Matthews, A Plainer Commentary, (Provo: Brigham Young University, 1975) and Monte S. Nyman and Robert L. Millet, eds., The Joseph Smith Translation: the Restoration of Plain and Precious Things, (Provo: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University, 1985). In the later book Bruce R. McConkie makes the statement, "Of course the revealed changes made by Joseph Smith are true - as much so as anything in the Book of Mormon of the Doctrine and Covenants … Of course we should use the Joseph Smith Translation in our study and teaching." The LDS Church's King James Version uses footnote references to "JST" (Joseph Smith Translation).
