The Pearl of Great Price is a selection of choice materials touching many significant aspects of the faith and doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These items were produced by Joseph Smith and were published in the Church periodicals of his day. The name of the book is derived from the Parable of the Pearl told by Jesus in Matthew 13. The contents here include the Book of Moses, the Book of Abraham, Facsimiles, Joseph Smith-Matthew, Joseph Smith-History and Articles of Faith.
