Chronology of Texts in the Modern Edition of the Doctrine and Covenants

The following table lists in chronological order all the revelations and other texts that appear in the modern (2013) Latter-day Saint edition of the Doctrine and Covenants. The left column identifies the editorial title of each text in the modern edition of the Doctrine and Covenants, and the right column lists the section (and sometimes verse) numbers where each text is found. The table includes entries for the two official declarations (OD1 and OD2) that are appended to the Doctrine and Covenants. Dates given in the table were usually determined based on information found in the texts themselves and in other historical documents. In several cases, dates are approximate. For more information on the dating of the texts listed here, see the historical introductions that appear before the texts in this compilation. The final five documents listed in this table (in italicized text) did not originate with Joseph Smith, but with later church leaders; of these, only section 135, the announcement of Joseph Smith’s martyrdom, is included in this compilation.
