Essays on Themes in the Doctrine & Covenants

Following the signal contributions made by twelve inspiring authors featured in the series, Brief Theological Introductions to the Book of Mormon (and published here), Wayfare is partnering with the Maxwell Institute to share a collection of thoughtful essays on significant concepts that shape the Doctrine and Covenants. These essays showcase the ideas explored in each book of the seven-volume series, Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants, published by Deseret Book in conjunction with BYU. You may also find the original essays published first on the Maxwell Institute website, along with many other rich materials designed to enhance your love of gospel learning. 

In this series, republished by Wayfare with permission, Mason Allred discusses practices and principles of seeing; Philip Barlow calls our attention to a new understanding of time with the potential to influence gospel living; Amy Easton identifies ways that Jesus Christ continually offers us divine aid; Terryl Givens challenges assumptions about agency and its various manifestations; Amy Harris provides critical insights into the work of redeeming the dead, and the critical turning of humanity’s hearts to another; and Janiece Johnson explores revelation’s central role in the Restoration and its potential in our lives.
