Alright, I’m very excited to announce a HUGE update to lecturesonfaith.com.
At first glance, it has the same design and vibe as the previous site, but with a couple of key improvements. The biggest one is the new search functionality, and it works great!
You can now increase or decrease the font size to make it easier to read.
Finally, I have added an entirely NEW edition of the lectures that I am calling the “Revised Standard Edition,” which includes a more modern versification structure with very minimal changes to the text, which had to be made to break up incredibly long run-on sentences. I’d take a look at the difference between the two versions of lecture five.
This new edition of the lectures is featured in a new edition of the Book of Mormon that I recently published, which includes the lectures as a primer! You can get your copy here on Amazon, where it is offered in hardcover and paperback with no markup, which means I don’t make a dime off it, and this is as cheap as I can possibly offer it, so it is as accessible as possible.
I have published clean, open-source texts for this new edition of the Lectures here on GitHub:

There is also an open-source text for the 1920 edition of the Book of Mormon, which represents only formatted digital copy of this edition that exists. There are some raw OCR versions obtained from scans, but they are full of errors and are practically unusable. I’ve meticulously gone through this public-domain text, verse by verse, and created an accurate digital version of the 1920 edition with just a small handful of minor updates.

I’ve made both of these texts available to the public at no cost so that people can produce their own content with them, whether that be websites, books, apps, etc. These texts belong to all of us as they were given freely to us by the Lord.
Unfortunately, I can’t buy everyone a book; that’s expensive, but I’ve made them available at the lowest cost I can.
Enjoy these new resources. I’ll tell you more about this new Book of Mormon edition when I can. I’ll probably do a video of it here soon.
