Bookshelf

Historical Short Creek

Bookshelf

A shelf of works typed or printed on the subject, in the same readable form as the talks. In the Short Creek community the scriptures on this top shelf — the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, the Journal of Discourses, and the key classics — are regarded as scripture, on par with one another. Historical Short Creek quotes these works; it does not author them. Held items stay on the shelf with a note, without the text.
