Info
In this first episode, I summarize the meaning and use of scripture, the origins of the Doctrine and Covenants, and then offer my commentary on the verses in section 1. Because it deals with broad introductory questions, this episode will be one of the longer ones. Thank you for listening, leave me questions, comments, or feedback at vowarning@gmailcom
