That may be a false dichotomy.

Becasue the gosepl embraces all truth, I am nto sure there should be a distinction of these different persectives. Wouldn't the gospel include the academic, expecially as it pertains to the scritpures?

I would think the JST is more interesting from a historical perspective, than a pure theological perspective. It is not scholarly, but midrashic.

For instance, it might be very interesting to know how a passage evolved through the translations from when it was spoken (A) to times when it was translated (B, C, D) to when I look at it now (E). It might tell me things about the bias of the translators or the perspective of whomever it was being translated for. But it wouldn't necessarily give me doctrinal truth. For that, I go to the prophet. A prophetic translation of the same passage may or may not produce exactly what was spoken (A). It may instead be some derivative of what was said (A'), but it would convey the correct sense of the doctrine. This is the same argument as Lebowski is making--that it's only commentary. While this is apparently the case in some circumstances, it's not the case in all. |

Find me a section which you consider a revealed passage, not commentary.

Here is Matthews' conclusion after his (heretofore) unprecedented look at JST manuscripts.

3 and 4 I buy, but 1 and 2 I do not. I seem to recall some of the Genesis provisions which may be events not recorded, but I have no perfect recollection of those provisions right now. For the most part, the 'restored' provisions don't provide significant enough insight that Joseph felt the need to complete the work.
