The Book of Moses earns it keep in being counted among the precious contents of the Pearl of Great Price. Born of Joseph Smith's Bible translation project, its roots in the unfolding Restoration run deep. For the early Saints of this dispensation, this ancient scripture revealed key doctrines, fleshed out the biblical narrative, sparked modern revelation. And it continues to serve as a template for such grand soul-saving projects as temple worship and the upbuilding of Zion.

From Creation to Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden to the earth's millennial paradisiacal glory, Enoch and Zion of the old to Zion and the New Jerusalem in the present and future, Noah and the flood of water to the coming of Christ with fire, and Moses and the tabernacle to Joseph Smith and latter-day temples, the Book of Moses reveals the depth of God's merciful dealings with his children on earth and his constant oversight in building them to eternal salvation.

This book explores the origins and development of the Book of Moses, its ancient nuances, the linguistic features of its revelations, and how its sweeping visions and rich doctrines inspired and guided Joseph Smith and the early members of what would become The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in their pursuit of Zion.
