Canon

The church is distinguished by its unique canon, which includes the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. As a church member, I was taught that these texts are divinely inspired and foundational to faith. However, a critical examination of these scriptures raises important questions about their historical authenticity, theological consistency, and overall truthfulness.

In this section, I systematically deconstruct the claims of truthfulness associated with these unique scriptures. By analyzing the historical context, textual integrity, and the evidence—or lack thereof—for their narratives, I challenge the assertions made by church leaders. This exploration highlights critical issues with the texts themselves and considers the broader implications of accepting these scriptures as authoritative. Through this critical lens, I seek to foster a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding the church’s scriptural claims and encourage thoughtful dialogue on the nature of religious truth.
