The article discusses allegations against Joseph Smith of plagiarizing various Bible passages and other people's writings for the Book of Mormon and his subsequent revelations. The author posits that if the same standards of plagiarism are applied to the New Testament as are to the Book of Mormon, then Christ would be guilty of "plagiarizing" the Old Testament, since extracts from older sources are cited without giving the origin. Tvedtnes concludes that Smith is not guilty of plagiarism.
