Episode 118: The Doctrine and Covenants as Living Scripture (Casey Griffiths)

When BYU professor Casey Paul Griffiths teaches a scripture class, he often concludes the semester by saying, "The end." But when he finishes a course on the Doctrine and Covenants, he says, "To be continued . . ." This reflects the ongoing nature of revelation in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a living church led by the Savior through his prophets. In this episode, Dr. Griffiths discusses the recently released four-volume work, Scripture Central Commentary on the Doctrine and Covenants, and draws on insights from the Joseph Smith Papers project, launched in 2005. The project ushered in a "golden age" of Church history, making a wealth of historical documents readily available and creating a need for updated commentary on the revelations given to the early Saints. The Doctrine and Covenants stands as a testament to God's ongoing work, revealing his tender guidance and care for individuals and the Church collectively. Griffiths emphasizes how the Lord communicates with his children, stating, "What happened anciently in the Old Testament still continues today. . . . The day of miracles is not past." It reminds us that ours is an open canon—living scripture still being written, with each of us invited to play a part.
