"In attempting to prove the historicity of any document or event, historians should use primary sources. For the historian of the ancient world, however, these sources are often both rare and obscure. By comparing a text with other texts and archaeological material from the same time and place, a historian can propose the historical plausibility of a document when its authenticity is not certain. In order to establish the Book of Abraham as a historically authentic ancient document, one must consider many elements, including: setting; the presence and nature of Egyptian influence in Abraham's place and time, including governmental, social, and religious institutions; and the presence of comparable personal and place names in the ancient Near East of Abraham's day. Yet even under the best of circumstances, historical plausibility establishes probability, not proof." [Author's abstract]
