Abbreviation for Doctrine and Covenants, one of Mormonism’s four scriptures.
The Doctrine and Covenants is one of the standard works of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It contains 138 sections and two Official Declarations, most of which are revelations given to Joseph Smith, with a few later additions from other prophets. The book outlines key doctrines of the faith, instructions for church organization, and explanations of ordinances such as baptism for the dead and celestial marriage. It is often published together with the Pearl of Great Price in a single volume. For Latter-day Saints, it serves as a living record of divine guidance that continues to shape church teachings and practices.
