whatever scripture is being studied in church at any particular time. For example, in 2011 we studied the New Testament. In 2012 we're discussing the Book of Mormon. I'm speaking now merely as a member who attends services, not as someone who reads whatever is published, whatever is found on the internet, or whatever the media focuses on concerning the LDS Church. Certainly, just because we do use the Book of Mormon--which seems to cause people of other faiths/people of no faith to verbally go on the attack-- that is what most everyone wants to talk about. Why, I imagine quite a few DUers here are surprised to learn we believe in Jesus as our savior and we even believe in the Bible.
