Richards. This period marked a time of growth and consolidation for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as it solidified its doctrinal framework and organizational structure. The Doctrine and Covenants, a compilation of revelations received by prophets, including Joseph Smith, played a central role in guiding the faith and practices of believers.
