Pearl of Great Price - Truth in Love Ministry

Dictionary of Mormonese

Pearl of Great Price

The Pearl of Great Price is one of the standard works of Mormon scripture. It contains selections from Joseph Smith’s writings, including the Book of Moses (a revision of Genesis), the Book of Abraham (a translation he said came from Egyptian papyri), Joseph Smith’s own history, and the Articles of Faith. These texts cover teachings about premortal life, the plan of salvation, and details about creation. The Pearl of Great Price is often studied alongside the Bible, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants as part of the LDS canon. For members, it reinforces unique doctrines such as eternal progression and the role of prophets in receiving modern revelation.
