McConkie wrote all the chapter headings, and he was an associate of Matthews, who was the chief compiler of the adapted Bible Dictionary. The English-language edition's supplements promulgates "strongly conservative" theological positions largely reflecting McConkie's views. Matthews, a former dean of Religious Education at BYU who was among the committee's assistants, reports. For technical assistance, the committee called on outside assistance, including at one point "at least one hundred faculty and students at Brigham Young University" (BYU) as Robert J. Packer, also apostles, and briefly also included apostles Howard W. Monson, a church apostle at the time who later became church president, headed the Scriptures Publications Committee which oversaw the publication of the church's English-language eduction of the Bible. The supplements in the edition do not claim doctrinal authority-the institutional church regards only the scriptural text of the King James Version (and its other standard works) as canonical-"though this fact is not particularly prominent in the minds of Church members" who have historically tended to consider the supplements normative. In 1999, the church added color photographs from the Holy Land. Lastly, the edition contains bible maps and a gazetteer. Selected references to the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible are included in footnotes, with longer excerpts included in an appendix. Cross-referencing footnotes to the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price are included, as is a 600-page topical index and the Bible Dictionary, an adaptation of the Cambridge Bible Dictionary. Each chapter includes a succinct heading, typically a descriptive summary, though some serve as commentaries. Both the Old and New Testaments are included, but the Apocrypha is not. The text of the Bible is that of the Authorized King James Version. The LDS Church published its first edition of the Bible in English in 1979.
