For that matter, those little blue paperback Books of Mormon the missionaries will hand you have changed a bit over the years. Not a whole lot, but a current copy does have differences from one circulating around 1980, and both differ from the 1830 first edition. They cleaned up the 1830 grammar a great deal to make it readable. Then, words in a few passages have shifted slightly to support newer doctrines. But if all else fails, there's always another "revelation," as when the church caved on racism and let blacks into the priesthood in 1978. Now the ladies are agitating to get in...will we hear the word of the Lord again?
