Why We Created Study the Scriptures
Study the Scriptures was created to take the study of the Book of Mormon to a deeper, more immersive level. Without changing a single word of the text or adding commentary, the app places contextual control in the reader’s hands—helping the Book of Mormon come alive. This project has been a true labor of love and is offered freely as a gift to others who love the Book of Mormon and desire to study it more deeply.
The text is visually reformatted to make its structure easier to see and follow. The main narration stays clean and easy to read, quoted passages are set apart, speakers are clearly identified, and places and dates stay with the story as it unfolds. Alongside the text, the original printer’s manuscript—the 464-page handwritten copy of the dictated Book of Mormon text recorded by Oliver Cowdery—is displayed in a separate window and linked directly to the scripture. As you study, the text and manuscript stay connected, bringing you side-by-side with the original dictated record.
Audio adds another layer of clarity and immersion. Each speaker is voiced by a different narrator, so you can hear when voices change as the record unfolds, while the text moves along with the audio as it plays. A powerful search tool helps you discover connections, patterns, themes, and doctrinal insights across the Book of Mormon—inviting deeper, more thoughtful study.
Our Hope for Your Study
Our hope is that your study of the Book of Mormon brings you closer to Jesus Christ. Whether you are just beginning or have studied this sacred record for a lifetime, we hope Study the Scriptures helps clarity increase, faith deepen, and understanding grow. As context becomes clearer, may your testimony be strengthened through the witness of the ancient prophets—and through the quiet, personal voice of the Spirit speaking to you.
