“As members prayerfully learn and teach from the scriptures, their testimonies will grow and they will receive greater direction in their daily lives.” —The First Presidency
The First Presidency has announced the publication of an updated edition of the triple combination of the scriptures in Fante.
Fante is the major local dialect in the Central Region of Ghana and is spoken over much of the southern half of Ghana.
The triple combination contains the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, a helpful study aid titled Guide to the Scriptures, and other study aids.
Electronic versions of the updated Fante scriptures are now available online at ChurchofJesusChrist.org and in the Gospel Library mobile app.
Updated triple
The updated Triple Combination in Fante incorporates various adjustments approved by the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve. Most of the adjustments are in the study helps, in the headings of the Doctrine and Covenants, or some minor spelling and meaning corrections in the text. Scripture verses in the new edition have the same page numbers as the previous edition.
“Members are not expected to obtain a new set of scriptures as a result of this updated edition,” the First Presidency stated.
Print versions
Printed copies of the scriptures in Fante will be available by May 29, 2019, through local distribution centers.
“We encourage members to obtain their own copies of the scriptures and to use them in regular personal and family study and in Church meetings and assignments,” the First Presidency stated. “As members prayerfully learn and teach from the scriptures, their testimonies will grow and they will receive greater direction in their daily lives.”
