President Russell M. Nelson has noted, “Through [the Prophet Joseph Smith] we have received more pages of scripture than we have from any other prophet”                            (“Catch the Wave,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2013, 47).

       How can the Doctrine and Covenants help me receive more personal revelation?
Elder Steven E. Snow of the Seventy explains the power of the Doctrine and Covenants in the article   “Treasuring the Doctrine and Covenants” (Ensign, Jan. 2009, 50–53).

Where can I learn more about the book of Abraham?

Dr. Kerry Muhlestein, a trained Egyptologist, discusses the book of Abraham and provides a meaningful testimony of the importance of relying on revelation as we seek to acquire spiritual knowledge in his article “The Book of Abraham, Revelation, and You” (Ensign, Dec. 2018, 54–57). See also his article “Assessing the Joseph Smith Papyri: An Introduction to the Historiography of Their Acquisitions, Translations, and Interpretations,” Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship, vol. 22 [2016], 17–49.
Dr. John Gee, an Egyptologist and Brigham Young University professor, explores various theories about the Joseph Smith papyri in his publications A Guide to the Joseph Smith Papyri (2000) (scholarsarchive.byu.edu) and An Introduction to the Book of Abraham (2017).
