D&C 81-83 I Early Saints & the Book of Mormon I Come Follow Church History with Lynne Hilton Wilson

Doctrine and Covenants 81-83 represents the restoration at work—addressing immediate
historical needs while establishing eternal principles. They demonstrate that revelation is not
abstract doctrines, but universal divine truths that can be applied to specific circumstances.

The progression from individual calling in section 81 to community organization in section 82 to institutional responsibility in section 83 mirrors the development of both individual discipleship and Church organization. Divine revelation addresses all aspects of human experience—personal, economic, social, and spiritual—as integrated elements of the restored gospel rather than separate spheres of concern.

Join Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson and guest Janiece Johnson as they discuss the impact of the Book of Mormon on early Latter-day Saints. The restoration was signal to the world that the heavens were now open and that God was speaking to His children. How did this affect new members of the Church who were raised believing that the heavens were closed? Did the early Saints cherish the Book of Mormon as much as we do today?
