All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.

Fascinating and spiritual history of our current version of the LDS Scriptures. There were many many people who worked on the project. The Church got a lot of public input on the making of these scriptures. You might say they are "open source", or that they were made with an agile process. Even the Bible Dictionary was taken from Cambridge University and they let the Church take their Bible Dictionary and make amendments to it.
