The LDS church does not include the deuterocanonical books in its canon of Scripture. The LDS canon consists of the King James Bible (OT and NT), the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. The deuterocanonical books are not part of this official canon.

However, the LDS tradition acknowledges that these books have historical value in understanding Jewish history and thought. Some LDS members may read the deuterocanonical books for historical interest, but they are not binding on doctrine or practice. The LDS emphasis on additional revelation (Book of Mormon, D&C, PGP) means that authority is not limited to the biblical canon alone, but extends to modern revelations through the Church president.
