Notes
1876, the "Doctrine and Covenants," a compilation of divine revelations and inspired declarations central to the theology of the Latter-day Saint movement, underwent significant revision. This edition, overseen by LDS Church leaders, notably included important adjustments such as the formal addition of Joseph Smith's vision of the Celestial Kingdom and Brigham Young's revelations. These changes reflected the evolving theological and administrative needs of the church, aligning the text more closely with contemporary doctrines and practices while reaffirming the foundational role of prophetic guidance within the faith. This 1876 edition thus represents a pivotal moment in the codification and dissemination of Latter-day Saint teaching.
