“Why Have Ye Transfigured the Holy Word of God?”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
In the Church we normally use the word transfiguration to refer to being lifted spiritually to a higher plane for a period of time. Here the word has negative connotations, implying changing the appearance or substance of the scriptures.
