- “I have just completed reading a newly published book by a renowned scholar. It is apparent from information which he gives that the various books of the Bible were brought together in what appears to have been an unsystematic fashion. In some cases, the writings were not produced until long after the events they describe. One is led to ask. Is the Bible true? Is it really the word of God? We reply that it is, insofar as it is translated correctly. The hand of the Lord was in its making. But it now does not stand alone. There is another witness of the significant and important truths found therein.” Manual, Teachings of the President of the Church: Gordon B Hinkley, Chapter 1, Chapter 1, The Restoration of the Gospel the Dawning of a Brighter Day
