Mormon Studies Collection (45 vols.)

This is a much needed collection, if you have not bid on this collection please do. These books are essential to anyone into mormon apologetics for both sides. Personally this weekend was speaking with 3 lds fellows, and found myself quoting from the lds church history book a-lot.. If you are into apologetics this is a MUST have set.

I agree. I was surprised to see this one moving so slowly.

Personally I would find the "Book of Mormon", the "Pearl of Great Price" and the "Doctrine and Covenants" very useful, but not sure about the rest?

They're a collection of semi-spontaneous sermons that people like to mine for crazy stuff. It's fairly easy both to shock Mormons with what they say, as well as misuse them as a source. I'm not bidding on them, myself.

Isn't the "Pearl of Great Price" and "Doctrine and Covenants" regarded as authoritative Scripture by the Church of Latter Day Saints? Or am I mistaken about that? Not out to debate, just would like to know.

Yes, The Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants, are Scriptures of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “the Mormon’s”.

I made my bid on this product. Right now I am witnessing to a growing number of Mormons that God has placed in my life. This would be an invaluable tool in knowing their history and its changes.

The "Teachings of the 'Prophets'" and a few other books reveal the hypocrisy of the church as well.
They believe the teachings of their 'prophets' to be infallible, but they contradict one another and they try to hide the error in doctrine from their followers.

Since they are all published by the LDS- better to have documentation directly out of the mouth of Satan regarding his false religion- the truth from Scripture will refute the lies they have entangled themselves in.

Do you have any idea how long it takes to obtain a product once a bid comes through? I noticed that your post is dated 2012 and its now 2017 and still there is nothing.
Too bad there wasn't an option to buy.

Thanks Ben for a very informative post.

Deborah FL has an item called Community Pricing for older public domain works like these. FL will not start on producing them till there are enough preorders placed to warrant going ahead with the project. If a lot jump on the price can go down to next to nothing, this has not been a big mover and it is not sure if it will ever see the light of day. But that is why after so many years it is still not an available option to buy, however if it had been produced it would cost now $399 for the whole set (perhaps a bit of discount), meaning that if you wish to see something like this at an affordable/many would say reasonable price you need to jump on to the community bids. Please note you are never charged until they ship and are usually given plenty of notice 2-3 weeks that they are approaching the shipping date. So technically you could order them but there is no guarantee they will ever ship.

Thank you, Dan. I did put out a bid in April and when I checked back on this page I just happened to notice the first bid was placed in 2012. Seeing how slow this bid moves I am sure it will be a matter of years before i get this set. In the meanwhile, my bid remains.

Another few years have passes and it looks like we have 70% of the people we need to make this product a reality. Let's pray God will work in the hearts of those whom He desires to bring the gospel to the Mormons through this resource and it will be available soon - Maybe in this lifetime?

Ten years now.

You are right. For Latter-Day Saints, the Bible is the first book of Scripture, they also consider The Book of Mormon, the Doctrine of Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price as scripture.

The Book of Mormon is a book written between 600 bC and 421 aD in America, parallel to the Bible. It narrates the deals of God with the ancient american people, they being a remanent of the tribe of Joseph. In this way, it stablishes the native american people as part of the Israel tribes and inheritants of the Abrahamic Covenant. It also relates a visit of Christ to America after his resurrection. Beside the Old Testament and the New Testament, the Book of Mormon is considered Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
Doctrine and Covenants is a recollection of God's communications (revelations) received by modern prophets like Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. It has a great doctrinal and historical relevance when you're studying the doctrine of the history of the Church.
The Pearl of Great Price is a volume that includes two old testamentary prophetic books (the Book of Moses and the Book of Abraham), a new testamentary prophetic book (JS-Matthew) and two historical books (JS-History and the Articles of Faith).
