This paper is an attempt to interpret the Joseph Smith Bible Revision (JSBR), how it came to be, claims made for it, and how the RLDS Church's understanding of the JSBR has begun to change during the past half century. It is not for me to suggest a single course of action in response to that shift of perception. That is a task for leaders who bear responsibility for clarifying the mission, identity, and message of the Community of Christ in today's world. My hope here is to provide a bit of grist for the mill. [From the article]
