This chapter describes the scripture provided by James J. Strang after he claimed to be Joseph Smith's successor.
"Strangite scripture continues the Latter Day Saint scriptural tradition closer than any other nineteenth-century examples. At the same time, it continued the debate over authenticity and fraud that has plagued the tradition's introduction of new scripture. While most would come to dismiss Strang's writings as an effort to manipulate an uncertain church following Smith's death, for several dozen living Strangites (and thousands in the 1840s and 1850s) these works are fully embraced as part of the Latter Day Saint canon."
