The King James Version of the Bible (1611) is the official Bible for the LDS Church while the RLDS Church has adopted the Joseph Smith Translation, published by the Reorganization in 1867, as its official Bible. Kim McCall will present a paper on the KJV, and William D. Russell will present a paper evaluating the JST, which came to be called “The Inspired Version” by the RLDS Church (now called the Community of Christ). Both papers will consider whether these Bibles are adequate for scripture study in the twenty-first century.
