In 1921, they were removed from canonical volume of scriptures because the Lectures "were never presented to nor accepted by the Church as

Great read, learned a lot and found some of it redundant. however it was originally meant as a textbook of sorts so hard to criticize the format too much.

I never knew that Lectures on Faith were part of the canonized scriptures and then were removed in 1921. These lectures are beautiful! I believe they should be read and studied just as much as any of the other scriptures, there is so much to learn there.As I write this, the LDS church is closing its 181st year as an "organized" religion, established on April 6, 1830.What many modern members of the church do not know is that between years 5 and 91, "Lectures on Faith" was included with the Doctrine and Covenants... and was actually the Doctrine part, with our existing version containing the Covenants portion.
