Mormons unapologetically group the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price with the Bible as ‘scripture.’ However, they teach that the words in these additional books—and even the statements of living Church authorities during semi-annual conferences—supersede the Bible.

When published in a quad format, the Bible is listed first, a gesture that can feel like mere lip service to a volume they consider secondary and flawed. At the same time, they undermine it by declaring the Book of Mormon the ‘most correct book’ ever written, despite its awkward prose and nearly 4,000 changes since its initial publication in 1830.
