The characteristics of Latter-day Saint ("Mormon") prophets
Jump to Subtopic:
- Question: Are Latter-day Saint prophets not really "prophets" because they don't foretell unknown events?
- Question: Are General Authorities very silent about some issues, allowing academic or volunteer organizations take their place?
- Question: Does the Church's public affairs department act independently of direction from Church leadership?

Revelation after Joseph Smith
Summary: If every President of the Church is a prophet, seer, and revelator, why have so few revelations after Joseph Smith been added to the Doctrine and Covenants? Revelations used to be printed in Church periodicals such as the Times and Seasons and the Evening and Morning Star. Why are revelations no longer published on an ongoing basis?
