Purpose of the article is to illuminate some of Joseph Smith's great contributions towards understanding and interpreting the Bible. Part I deals with the background of the JST, the procedure Joseph used in translating, and the style of the changes made in the text by Joseph Smith. Part II is a textual comparison of significant passages with the King James Version (KJV). Part III covers textual changes relating to the Mission of Jesus Christ and also of the Prophets. Part IV deals with the value of the JST to Latter-day Saints, not only in our greater understanding of the Bible but in the revelations given to the Church while Joseph was translating it.
