Permissions Needed?

Post by SarahPerry21 »

I am writing a book where I would like to include a definition from the Bible DIctionary and scripture passages from OT, NT, and the BofM. Do I need legal permission to do that? My research is that the KJV is in the public domain, so no problem there. But what about the Bible dictionary and BofM? Thank!

The Bible Dictionary bound with the standard works in English is based on a Bible dictionary by Cambridge University. This article has some interesting trivia:
Using the New Bible Dictionary in the LDS Edition

That may influence how it can be used (I'm not sure). davesudweeks' recommendation to go through the Permissions form is good.
