In God’s Image and Likeness: Ancient and Modern Perspectives on the Book of Moses, Volume One by Jeffrey M. Bradshaw is a comprehensive scholarly study of the opening chapters of the Book of Moses in the Pearl of Great Price, focusing particularly on Moses 1–6. Bradshaw examines major themes such as divine sonship, the premortal life, creation, the Fall, and early sacred history, drawing from Latter-day Saint scripture alongside ancient Near Eastern literature, Jewish and early Christian writings, temple traditions, and modern prophetic teachings. His approach places the Book of Moses within a broad historical and theological context, highlighting parallels between Restoration scripture and ancient texts.

The volume is extensively documented and includes substantial footnotes for serious study, yet it also maintains devotional depth. In addition to its textual analysis, the book features numerous pages of beautiful full-color illustrations that enhance the reader’s understanding of symbolic, artistic, and cultural elements related to the themes discussed. These visual materials, combined with careful scholarship, make the work both intellectually rich and visually engaging for students of scripture.
