The Mormon Church released this week the most significant changes to its scripture since 1981.

The Mormon scriptures comprise four books: the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.

Although there are grammatical revisions that will be contained in the 2013 edition of Mormon scriptures — now available online and in print format in August — the substantive changes come in terms of the introductions to the actual scriptural material.
