The Journal of Discourses (often abbreviated J.D. or JOD) is a 26-volume collection of public sermons by early leaders of "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints", commonly known as the Mormon Church. The first editions of the Journal were published in England by George D. Watt, the stenographer of Brigham Young. Publication began in 1854, with the endorsement of the church's "First Presidency", and ended in 1886. The Journal is one of the richest sources of early Mormon theology and thinking. It includes 1,438 sermons given by 55 church leaders, including most numerously Brigham Young, John Taylor, Orson Pratt, Heber C. Kimball, and George Q. Cannon. George D. Watt recorded the first four volumes of sermons himself, and he continued to contribute through volume twelve, but at least eleven other stenographers were involved. Brigham Young has by far the most sermons recorded in the Journal, with 390. Though never officially accepted as Mormon canon, the Journal of Discourses was very highly esteemed in its day, and no doubt was quoted like scripture in defending Mormon doctrines. The writers of this document had every intention of this being a "standard work" of the church. Today, however, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has distanced itself from the Journal of Discourses and many of its teachings. Many of the ideas expounded on in the Journal of Discourses, such as blood atonement, the Adam-God theory, plural marriage, and the exclusionary Negro doctrine, have been disavowed by the modern church. Below is the current, official position of the Church on the issue, according to their main web site: "The Journal of Discourses is not an official publication of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a compilation of sermons and other materials from the early years of the Church, which were transcribed and then published. It includes practical advice as well as doctrinal discussion, some of which is speculative in nature and some of which is only of historical interest. ... Questions have been raised about the accuracy of some transcriptions. Modern technology and processes were not available for verifying the accuracy of transcriptions, and some significant mistakes have been documented. The Journal of Discourses includes interesting and insightful teachings by early Church leaders; however, by itself it is not an authoritative source of Church doctrine." Try telling the above to the writers of the Journal of Discourses! The founding fathers of the Mormon religion had every intention that their writings serve as an "authoritative source of Church doctrine." in other words, "scripture". Read the following quotes from the Journal of Discourses and decide for yourself: The Journal of Discourses deservedly ranks as one of the standard works of the Church, and every right minded Saint will certainly welcome with joy every number (issue) as it comes forth. President George Q. Cannon, Journal of Discourses, Preface, Vol.8. Each successive Volume of these Discourses is a rich mine of wealth, containing gems of great value, and the diligent seeker will find ample reward for his labor. After the fathers and mothers of this generation have made them the study of their lives their children’s children will find that they are still unexhausted, and rejoice that this Record has been handed down from their fathers to also aid them in following the way of life. 'Apostle' Orson Pratt, Preface. Volume 3. It is impossible to give monetary value to the past volumes of this publication, … Those who read the utterances of the servants of God, contained in this book, under the same influence by which the speakers were inspired, cannot fail to receive profit from the perusal. President Joseph F. Smith, Preface, Vol.18. We take great pleasure in presenting to the Saints and the world the … the JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES, which they will find contains rich treasures of information concerning the glorious principles of Eternal Life, as revealed through God’s anointed servants in these last days. All who read the discourses contained in this Volume are earnestly recommended to adapt them to their lives by practice, and we can confidently assure them that, in doing so, they are laying up a store of knowledge that will save and exalt them in the Celestial kingdom. 'Apostle' Albert Carrington, Journal of Discourses, Preface, Vol. 15. Although the modern Mormon leadership wants to conveniently sweep this document under the theological rug, there is little doubt that Mormons still revere the 'Journal of Discourses' as a viable source of authority (scripture) on at least some areas of Mormon doctrine. The Journal remains a useful witnessing tool in exposing the errors of Mormonism by shaking it from the very foundations on which the early Mormon church was founded.
