Edited by Scott H. Faulring, Kent P. Jackson, and Robert J. Matthews.

This groundbreaking volume presents the latest research into the history and origin of the Joseph Smith Translation and revises and clarifies earlier understandings. The book begins with a series of essays that introduce the New Translation. The first explains what the translation is and how it was produced. Other essays discuss the doctrinal contributions of the Joseph Smith Translation, the history of the manuscripts since Joseph Smith's death in 1844, the work of the Prophet's scribes, and the editorial procedures followed in preparing the transcriptions.

The main section of the book presents a typographic transcription of all the original manuscript pages of the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, unedited and preserved exactly as dictated by the Prophet and recorded by his scribes. The editor's intent has been to render, as exactly as possible, the scribes' original words, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, strikeout, and insertions.
