SALT LAKE CITY — Elder David A. Bednar says the reach of the now-completed "The Joseph Smith Papers" project is "stunning."
He said "The Joseph Smith Papers" similarly are just the beginning, and the value of the compilation of all of the documents "has not even been, even in the smallest measure, fully realized." "I just feel very glad; it's quite an accomplishment to look at this row of books and to know all of the hard work and the dedication of all the team members that went into this," Rogers said.
He said there were two purposes of the project — to be complete and accurate "with full confidence in the integrity of our founding prophet" and to understand the early history of the church and God's hand in that history.
