For this study Duffy analyzed fifty academic texts written in the last twenty-five years about the Book of Mormon's production and "published outside the Mormon world." His purpose was to discover what these scholars are saying about its provenance. He organized these writings under the following six rhetorical strategies: open deprecation, disclaiming the truth question, naturalistic explanations, implicit skepticism, distancing devices, and factual language. He then asks if, in the world of academics, LDS scholars can "credibly voice orthodox perspectives" of the Book of Mormon and states that he believes they can if they are not "openly advocating for it."
