The written word is powerful, especially sacred texts. The Book of Mormon, a sacred text indigenous to America, has influenced many readers to make radical life changes. Gutjahr presents a history of this book and the Bible. He points out that in 1830, readers were interested in the Bible and historical writing. The article argues that the Book of Mormon, with its narrative format and linguistic peculiarities, could only be understood within this particular print culture. Literary and cultural historians have paid little attention to this best-seller. Considers the Book of Mormon as one of the most important written texts to emerge in the United States.
