Provo, Utah – The world’s largest database of Latter-day Saint art just got bigger. The Book of Mormon Art Catalog (https://bookofmormonartcatalog.org) now includes not only visual art inspired by the Book of Mormon but also art based on Church history, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.
Since the catalog launched in 2022, it has grown to include more than 8,000 artworks. The website organizes Latter-day Saint art from the 19th century to today and from artists around the globe. Careful research by the Book of Mormon Art Catalog team has brought these pieces together from public and private collections, archives, museums, and the holdings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other branches of the Restoration.
Users of the free website can choose to explore “Book of Mormon Art” or “Restoration History & Scripture Art.” Within each section, the updated website has six helpful browsing categories—1) artist’s name, 2) year of creation, 3) artist’s country, 4) scripture reference, 5) topic, and 6) style or technique.

Ninth Biennial Faith and Knowledge Conference
University of Utah, Salt Lake City
May 16-18, 2025
The Faith and Knowledge Conference was established in 2007 by Latter-day Saint scholar Richard Bushman. Its mission is to bring together graduate students and early career scholars from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Community of Christ, and other faith traditions that follow Joseph Smith. The conference aims to explore the interactions between religious faith and scholarship for members of restoration movements. During the past eight meetings, students have shared their experiences as Mormon scholars in the academy with an eye toward the challenges and insights resulting from the intersection of faith and scholarship. These papers and conversations have provided thought-provoking historical, exegetical, and theoretical perspectives, as well as compelling models for locating discipleship through scholarly disciplines.
