"This analysis of one of the Book of Doctrine and Covenants' several revelatory sections argues for the value of remembering the temporal, even human qualities of canon or 'the role of writing... in the shaping of a religious community's sense of its boundaries, history, and identity.' My wager is that doing so illuminates the process of canon construction and the doctrinal or normative force of the resulting scripture itself. I ask what about writing-- whether ancient or contemporary-- makes itself susceptible to designation as divinely inspired utterance and, more, religious law? Or, more specific to this exercise, how has a modern account of human misery and longing held sway with the lamentations of Jeremiah and the epistles of first-century Christian witnesses?" [Author]
