Here’s a post that won’t appeal much to non-LDS (Mormon) readers. But for the Mormons out there…
The Bible’s a big book, so Christians have their work cut out them. My copy is 1,590 pages long. (Of course, it would be much shorter if it didn’t also have a bunch of footnotes.)
But Latter-day Saints (Mormons)
also treat the Book of Mormon (531 pages), the Doctrine and Covenants (294 pages), and the Pearl of Great Price (61 pages) as scriptural. That’s a lot to read. Some Mormons try to read them all, some focus on a small chunk, some give up and don’t bother.
Lately I got to wondering: Of all these books to choose from, what do the church’s general authorities read? (”General authority” is what LDS call those who lead the church globally, as opposed to local authorities like Bishops.) It occurred to me today that there was an easy way to find out.
