Doctrine and Covenants Compendium is a thorough study of the Doctrine and Covenants by one of the Church's leading scholars and writers. The entire contents of the Doctrine and Covenants are carefully explained so that everyone--teachers, missionaries, church leaders, and students of the gospel--can readily grasp the meaning of these heavenly-inspired messages. Dr. Sperry introduces the reader to the historical setting and background for each revelation and in so doing creates added interest and meaning to this important volume.
