Do names make a difference?

So why did the church feel the need to add Another Testament of Jesus Christ to the title of the Book of Mormon? I mean, it’s not like we call the New Testament The New Testament: A Testament of Jesus Christ, you know? I still remember when it happened—it just felt (and still feels!) a little insecure to me, that’s all.

    I agree. I've always declined to refer to the book using that secondary title.

    Does anyone actually refer to it with the subtitle?

    @Heather: In general conferences many of the speakers use the subtitle, at least on first reference.
