Unlike followers of most contemporary religions, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) do not depend solely upon ancient scripture as a basis for their faith. Mormon theology is based upon revelation, both ancient and modern, which God has given through His prophets. Mormons accept the Bible, and the Book of Mormon as scripture. They also count as scripture the Doctrine and Covenants—a book of revelations given to Joseph Smith and his successors—and the Pearl of Great Price. In addition, Mormons accept the teachings of living prophets as scripture. Thus, Mormon theology is based on ancient and continuing revelation, which God has given and is giving through His prophets.
