The "Joseph Smith Translation" of the Bible
Summary: A collection of articles responding to criticisms related to the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible.
Summary: If the Joseph Smith Translation (JST) is Joseph Smith's 'correction' of Biblical errors, why do these corrections not match known Biblical manuscripts?
Summary: Why don't Latter-day Saints use the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible as the "official" Bible instead of the King James Version.
Summary: Some passages from the Bible (parts of Isaiah, for example) were included in the Book of Mormon text. However, the same passages were later revised for the Joseph Smith Translation of the Holy Bible. In some cases these passages are not rendered identically. It is claimed that if the JST was an accurate translation, it would match the supposedly more 'pure' Isaiah text possessed by the Nephites.
Summary: When Joseph Smith dictated the creation account in the Book of Abraham, it indicated a plurality of gods. Why didn't Joseph modify the Bible to account for this?
Summary: Some ask if the Joseph Smith "translation" of the Bible was ever completed. If it was not, then why didn't God have subsequent prophets complete it?
