Title	Church of the Latter-Day Saints Doctrine and Covenants
Subject	Religion in Ohio Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Mormons Doctrine and Covenants
Place	Kirtland (Ohio) Lake County (Ohio)
Description	Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of the Latter Day Saints was the first complete doctrine published by the Latter Day Saint movement. It was compiled by Joseph Smith, Jr., Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, Frederick G. Williams and printed by F.G. Williams & Co., Kirtland, Ohio, in 1835. The book is divided into two parts. In the "Doctrine" section are a series of theological lectures given by Mormon church leaders that define the beliefs of the 19th-century religious movement. The "Covenants" section is composed of what the Latter Day Saint followers believed were divine revelations given to Joseph Smith, Jr. by God. The revelations pertain to a variety of topics impacting the Latter Day Saint movement from 1829-1835, such as church relations, developing theology, messages to specific members, building the Kirtland Temple, and priesthood hierarchy and responsibilities. There is no mention of polygamy, baptism of the dead, or celestial marriage. These doctrines were made public between 1840 and 1852. The 257-page book measures 6" x 4" (15.4 x 10.16 cm), selected pages are included here. Located just east of Cleveland, the Kirtland Temple was the first house of worship for the followers of Joseph Smith, Jr., who founded the Latter Day Saint movement in western New York in 1830. Kirtland, Ohio was the Mormon church headquarters from 1831-1838. Membership increased from 123 to over 3,000 members in the Kirtland area while the church resided in Ohio. Many of the founding Mormon doctrines have their beginnings in Ohio.
