"In 2010, Deseret Book Company, the LDS church's publishing and book-selling arm, withdrew from publication it's popular - and highly controversial - doctrinal treatise Mormon Doctrine. Among LDS church members, the book had long been simultaneously one of the most quoted and most criticized books ever written by a church leader. Mormon Doctrine was an encyclopedia-style reference book written in the 1950s by Bruce R. McConkie, then a young member of the church's Quorum of the Seventy. The book was published in 1958 by then-independent LDS bookseller Bookcraft. McConkie described the work in its preface as an 'extensive compendium of the whole gospel - the first attempt to publish an encyclopedic commentary covering the whole field of revealed religion.' Its 776 pages contained more than two thousand entries." [From the text]
