Reynolds THE SECOND PUBLICATION OF Joseph Smith's revelations in 1835 bore the new title Doctrine and Covenants and contained significant additions to the 1833 Book of Commandments.

REYNOLDS {[email protected]} is a professor of political sci- ence at Brigham Young University. He wishes to thank the numerous col- leagues who provided criticisms and suggestions on earlier drafts. Over a fifteen-year period, research assistants Scott H. Faulring, Jedediah S. Rog- ers, Jason Scoffield, D. Philip Kenny, Jamison Noorlander, Daniel B. Mc- Kinlay, John J. Nielsen, Adam W. Bentley, and Eden Rasmussen provided invaluable help with source materials and documentation. Alison Coutts provided equally invaluable support in doing the final formatting. This pa- per is derived in part from Reynolds's earlier review essay on Larry E. Dahl and Charles D. Tate Jr., The Lectures on Faith in Historical Perspective (Provo, Utah: BYU Religious Studies Center, 1990), 31-104, which was published in BYUStudies 32, no. 1 (1991): 285-94. A second version was published in the FARMS festschrift for Richard L. Anderson, "The Authorship Debate Con- cerning Lectures on Faith: Exhumation and Reburial," in The Disciple as Wit- ness: Essays on Latter-day Saint History and Doctrine in Honor of Richard Lloyd Anderson, edited by Stephen D. Ricks, Donald W. Parry, and Andrew H. Hedges (Provo, Utah: FARMS, 2000), 355-82. This final version is based on the paper delivered at the 2003 MHA meetings in Kirtland as expanded by subsequent findings. ^Joseph Smith et al., History of the Church offesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, edited by B.

They take up the doctrine of faith as "the first principle in revealed reli- gion and the foundation of all righteousness" (31). There is no evidence of any effort to follow through with simi- lar treatments of other basic gospel principles.
