Journal of Discourses

The Journal of Discourses is a collection of sermons and talks given by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) during the late 19th century. It was published between 1851 and 1886 and provides insight into the church’s teachings, beliefs, and policies during that period. The journal is valued for its historical and doctrinal significance, offering perspectives on theology, church governance, and social issues from early LDS leaders. While not official doctrine, it helps members and scholars understand the historical context and development of LDS beliefs.
