Sections

The Section Explorer is the heart of the Doctrine and Covenants Project, designed to make Restoration scripture accessible, searchable, and available to all. This feature allows users to navigate our growing library of sections from various versions of the Doctrine and Covenants, providing a unique opportunity to explore the words that have shaped the Latter Day Saint movement.

Whether you’re studying the text as scripture, seeking historical understanding, or simply curious about the similarities and differences between versions, the Section Explorer offers a straightforward and powerful tool for discovery. Each section is presented in its original wording from multiple editions, such as the Community of Christ’s version and earlier editions like the 1833 Book of Commandments.
