Wilford Woodruff’s Book of Revelations 1838–1842

The Baptist, the Apostle, and Wilford Woodruff:

"We have found the Messias"

By Kristy Taylor

The Apostle John the Beloved presents a humble yet powerful witness of the Savior in the Gospel of John. He begins with repeated testimonies of the Savior’s divine mission, both his own testimony and that of John the Baptist. Brigham Young University professor of Ancient Scripture, Eric D. Huntsman, explained that “beyond his friendship with the Savior, other passages reveal [the Apostle John] as a powerful witness of the most important events of Jesus’s mission: he stood at the foot of the cross to witness the Lord’s death as a sacrifice for sin, ran to the tomb after the Resurrection to confirm that it was empty, and saw the resurrected Savior.”

Insight from the Letters Team



When Wilford Woodruff’s son Asahel was serving in the British mission, Wilford received many letters from him that provide interesting insights into the continuity of missionary work throughout this last dispensation. In these letters, Asahel wrote to his father about the ups and downs of mission life: the joy he felt in seeing the hand of God in his life and in his opportunity to help bring people the restored gospel, but also the struggles he faced with his own abilities to preach the gospel.

Wilford Woodruff's Witness:

The Development of Temple Doctrine

Many existing books and articles discuss specific temple ordinances, but the historical development of all temple ordinances has never been included in a single volume — until now. Wilford Woodruff's Witness provides new insight even to those who are very familiar with the history of the Restoration.

The account unfolds in Wilford Woodruff's own words, drawn from primary sources including his journals, discourses, and letters, as well as extensive footnotes and citations allowing for further study. This Enhanced Second Edition includes updated information with links in the footnotes to documents recently transcribed and published online at wilfordwoodruffpapers.org.

Proceeds of book sales fund the transcription work being completed by the Wilford Woodruff Papers Project.
