economical-scriptures1The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is committed to providing free or economical access to scriptures as part of the mandate to fill the earth with the knowledge of the Lord (Habakkuk 2:14).

In the general marketplace, the cost of Bibles is rising.

In contrast, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints isn’t about to hike its prices. In fact, pocket-sized scriptures are still 50% off. You can also get scriptures free online at scriptures.lds.org and free in the Gospel Library mobile app. Also, very economical print editions are available at store.lds.org (Bible for $8.85; triple for $5).
