In this episode Kerry and Sharalyn Howcroft go over the background of how we get D&C 20. They investigate the use of the Book of Mormon in creating a first draft of the section, and then how the Lord changed what was being created and revealed to them what they needed, and the relationship between the draft Oliver Cowdery had made and the revelation Joseph received. They look at the use of Section 20 in the original Pearl of Great Price. They explore the importance of this section in our ability to have the Church function. They also look at the relationship between Section 21 and Section 20. They also talk about God's instructions to keep records in the Church and the impact that has had on us. They also look at God's description of Joseph Smith's roles, including his being a translator, and the way Joseph receives the word of God as if from His own mouth.
