Chapter 8
APOCRYPHA
AND THE CANON OF SCRIPTURE
Question: Is not the canon of Scriptures full?
Answer (by Joseph Smith): If it is, there is a great defect in the book, or else it would have said so. (D.H.C. 3:30)
The collection of books, letters, and histories compiled within the Bible is called scripture. All those writings that have been selected and accepted as valid are called “The Canon of Scripture”. But different churches accept different books as scripture, resulting in varying canons of the scriptures.
