Our Sisters in the Latter-day Scriptures
What can we learn from the women mentioned in the latter-day scriptures-the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price? A great deal. In Our Sisters in the Latter-day Scriptures, author Jerrie W. Hurd shares insights about women in scripture who have changed history, for good or for bad. She discusses the women in the Book of Mormon, such as Sariah and Abish; the women in the Doctrine and Covenants, such as Emma Smith and Vienna Jaques; and the women in the Pearl of Great Price and the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, such as Eve and Sarah. Sister Hurd writes, "Discovering the women in sacred texts can give some women entree, a place to begin a study of the scriptures. For others it can keep in perspective the fact that God works through families more often than through kings or captains. "The daughters of Eve today have needs and possibilities as great as those of any of the women mentioned in scripture. Our Sisters in the Latter-day Scriptures is offered in the belief that sisters in these latter days will enjoy discovering for themselves their own scriptural heritage."
