Redemption for the dead taps into the deepest purposes of creation and the atonement. It encompasses individuals’ development, the purpose of existence, and the grand scope of God’s love. Revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants illuminate Malachi’s prophecy about Elijah and the turning of humanity’s hearts to one another.
Revelation is the indispensable part of the Restoration. It is central to our existence as the restored Church of Jesus Christ, and it can come to us in a multitude of different ways. Throughout his life, Joseph Smith revealed that speaking is a part of who God is. He laid a foundation for a theology of what this book calls “revelatory abundance.”
Through exploring and analyzing both well-known and often overlooked sections in the Doctrine and Covenants, this book provides answers to these central questions: How does the Lord interact with His people? How does He encourage them and move them forward? And what is He trying to teach us about how we should interact with one another?

A volume on time may seem a puzzling inclusion in a series exploring themes in the Doctrine and Covenants.

Joseph Smith's observation that "by proving contraries, truth is made manifest" has become a beloved aphorism of Latter-day Saint thought. In Both Things Are True, Kate Holbrook experiments on these words.
