The doctrines and views set forth in the preceding pages, based on the teachings of the elders of the Church, especially of the Prophet Joseph Smith, may be confirmed by a study of the doctrinal standards of the Church, namely, the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price. The following references, chosen almost at random, from these standards, especially from the Doctrine and Covenants, are for the immediate use of those who wish to pursue the study somewhat more in detail. For a critical study, an exhaustive examination must necessarily be made of the doctrinal standards and of the mass of books and printed sermons on the system of belief of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Such students will find the existing indexes or concordances to the standard authorities of most value.[A] but they will also obtain much ready help from the several existing excellent compilations of references, classified under doctrinal headings.[B] A list of Church literature may be obtained from the Deseret News and Deseret Sunday School Union Bookstores, Salt Lake City, Utah. [Footnote A: _Cruden's Concordance to the Bible_ (or some other good concordance). _A Complete Concordance to the Book of Mormon_ (George Reynolds). _A Concordance to the Book of Doctrine and Covenants_ (John A. Widtsoe). No index has as yet been made for the _Pearl of Great Price_, but the book is small and may be read easily in its entirety.] [Footnote B: _The Compendium_ (Richards and Little) is the type after which most of the later compilations have been fashioned.] REFERENCES.
