The Latter Day Saint Movement
The Restoration founded by Joseph Smith. Its scriptures are unambiguously public-domain — only the modern LDS typeset apparatus (chapter headings, footnotes, the Topical Guide) is copyright, never the text itself.
The Restoration scriptures4
The Book of MormonThe Doctrine and CovenantsThe Pearl of Great Price (Moses · Abraham · Articles of Faith)The Joseph Smith Translation (Inspired Version)
Restorationist & Adventist
The wave of new churches that grew from American Protestantism — each producing a new distinct scripture or authoritative canon. Almost all are green; only the mid-20th-century New World Translation is corporately held.
The new American scriptures7
Christian Science — Science and Health with Key to the ScripturesSeventh-day Adventist — Ellen G. White (Great Controversy · Desire of Ages · Steps to Christ)Jehovah’s Witnesses — Russell’s Studies in the ScripturesThe New World Translation (the JW Bible)Christadelphians — Elpis IsraelThe Shakers — Testimony of Christ’s Second Appearing (the "Shaker Bible")The Millerites — Evidence… of the Second Coming
Spiritualist, Spiritist & Esoteric
The revealed and channeled cluster — new bibles dictated by spirits or masters, and the metaphysical currents (Theosophy, New Thought) that grew alongside them. A near-solid green front, their founders all long dead.

The 20th-Century & Global Movements
The newest faiths — where the map goes dark. In Asia the source scripture is old and public-domain but the only English is a modern church translation; in the West the canon is a corporately-enforced copyright.
