The Book of Abraham was CHANGED from first edition of the Pearl of Great Price!

This episode delivers a fascinating deep dive into the history and textual evolution of the Book of Abraham and the Pearl of Great Price. The conversation is led by Cardon Ellis, who brings curiosity and a debunker’s mindset to the origins, scholarship, and textual variants in Latter-day Saint scripture, especially the Book of Abraham.

Reid Moon, known for being a rare book dealer and historian, shares some truly unique insights and artifacts from his collection. He reveals that the most quoted verse in the Pearl of Great Price (famous for the line “Behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man”) actually read differently in the original manuscript and early printings. Instead, the phrasing was “Behold, this is my work. To my glory. To the immortality and eternal life of man.” This subtle change demonstrates how even core scripture has evolved under Joseph Smith’s direction, reflecting both the organic nature of revelation and editorial choices during Smith’s lifetime.
