Brett C's Reviews > THE COMPLETE LDS SCRIPTURES | THE LDS QUADRUPLE COMBINATION The King James Bible / The Book of Mormon / The Doctrine and Covenants / The Pearl of Great Price)

Disclaimer: This is not a review of the religious beliefs and views of the Latter-day Saints (LDS) faith. This is merely a review of an LDS quad. I have read these books and my views on them are my own. Thank you.

*****This is a 1981 publishing of the Book of Mormon and accompanying standard works.*****

So...I have read The Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, Doctrines and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price in their entirety and it took quite some time. This is a large and heavy book called a quad among the LDS; you will always see the missionaries carrying them. The quad consists of what the LDS call "standard works" which are the four books I mentioned earlier. It comes in three sizes: large (6.5" x 9.5"), regular (5.25" x 7.25"), and compact (4.25" x 6"). The quad also has two silk ribbon book markers. The following is an outline of what is inside:

1. The Holy Bible—standard King James Version containing both Old and New Testament and is 1590 pages. After this comes an appendix containing a topical guide, a Bible dictionary, Joseph Smith translation, Biblical maps and photos (total 860 pages).

2. The Book of Mormon (BoM) in its entirety is roughly 540 pages to include an introduction, the text, and a pronunciation guide to all the names of people in the BoM.

3. The Doctrines and Covenants (D&C) contains all 138 revelations is 294 pages. The D&C is a collection of divine revelations and inspired declarations given for the establishment and regulation of the kingdom of God on the earth in the last days (from Explanatory Introduction page).

4. The Pearl of Great Price contains selections from The Book of Moses, The Book of Abraham, Joseph Smith's translation of parts of The Book of Matthew, Joseph Smith's history, and the 13 LDS Articles of Faith. In total it is 61 pages.

Following all of that is another index of 416 pages. Lastly, the quad finishes with a Chronology of Church History and a series of maps and places relevant to LDS church history.

This is a great reference source I use often and read random passages. Thanks!
