About the Book

The 49th Annual Brigham Young University Sidney B. Sperry Symposium

Section 93 of the Doctrine and Covenants deals with concepts that scholars term Christology and praxis. Christology has to do with the study of Christ鈥檚 nature, while praxis involves religious practice. That this revelation should insist on both the 鈥渉ow鈥 and the "what" of worship indicates that knowledge and practice are inseparable. As this volume demonstrates, Joseph Smith's revelations and teachings constitute a unique textual setting to analyze this relationship. This volume focuses on both the person of Christ and the practice of worshipping him as outlined in the revelations of Joseph Smith. More specifically, this volume seeks to understand Christ as revealed in the revelations and clarify the practices required of those who worship a being who grew 鈥渇rom grace to grace.鈥
