We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly. . . . - Eighth Article of Faith
"I urge the reading of the Bible," said Elder Alma Sonne, an Assistant to the Twelve, in the October 1964 general conference. "It is a powerful book and contains treasures of truth which are vital to man's development. It is a strong testimony of the existence of God and the divine mission of Jesus Christ."May I suggest you turn to the book itself instead of reading the commentaries of scholars and pretenders of religion. The latter will not satisfy, for the things of God are understood by the Spirit of God. But the Bible should be read searchingly as admonished by Jesus. It is and has been a source of comfort and strength in times of sorrow."
