The LDS edition of the Bible is a version of the Bible published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The text of the LDS Church's English-language Bible is the Authorized King James Version; the church's Spanish-language Bible is a revised Reina-Valera translation and the Portuguese-language edition is based on the Almeida translation. The editions include footnoting, indexing, and summaries that are consistent with LDS Church teachings and that integrate the Bible with the church's other standard works. The LDS Church encourages its members to use the LDS edition of the Bible. The eighth Article of Faith of the church states, "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly".〔(Articles of Faith 1:8 ), Pearl of Great Price.〕 ==English-language King James Version edition== In 1979, the LDS Church published its first edition of the Bible in English.〔Robert J. Matthews, ("The New Publications of the Standard Works—1979, 1981" ), ''BYU Studies'', vol. 22, no. 4, pp. 387–424 (Fall 1982).〕〔Lavina Fielding Anderson, (“Church Publishes First LDS Edition of the Bible” ), ''Ensign'', October 1979, p. 9.〕 The text of the Bible is that of the Authorized King James Version.〔〔Philip L. Barlow (1997). "The New LDS Edition of the Scriptures", in ''Mormons and the Bible: The Place of the Latter-day Saints in American Religion'' (New York: Oxford University Press) pp. 205–214.〕 Both the Old and New Testaments are included, but the Apocrypha is not. Each chapter includes a paragraph-long heading that summarizes the contents of the chapter from a "Mormon perspective".〔 Cross-referencing footnotes to the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price are included, as is an LDS-oriented 600-page topical index and the church's ''Bible Dictionary''.〔〔 Selected references to the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible are included in footnotes, with longer excerpts included in an appendix.〔 Lastly, the edition contains bible maps and a gazetteer.〔 In 1999, color photographs from the Holy Land were added. None of the LDS-specific supplements in the edition claim doctrinal authority: only the text of the King James Version (and the other standard works) is considered canonical by the LDS Church.〔 The publication of the English-language LDS edition of the Bible was overseen by apostle Thomas S. Monson, who later became the President of the Church. The English-language edition has been described as portraying a "strongly conservative" version of Mormonism that is largely reflective of the theological positions of apostle Bruce R. McConkie,〔 who assisted Monson in editing the work and wrote the chapter headings.〔 In 1992, the church's First Presidency announced the King James Version was the church's official English Bible, stating "()hile other Bible versions may be easier to read than the King James Version, in doctrinal matters latter-day revelation supports the King James Version in preference to other English translations." In 2010, this statement was written into the church's ''Handbook'', which directs official church policy and programs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LDS edition of the Bible」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
