"Between 1830 and 1981, all printed editions of the Book of Mormon contained the phrase 'straight and narrow path [or course]' in four verses. The change in 1981 to 'strait and narrow path [or course]' has been supported by several arguments, including the lack of the phrase 'straight and narrow' in the King James version of the Bible. Welch counters this argument with the history of the introduction and rise of the phrase 'straight and narrow' among Western authors. Working through each of the other arguments and offering his own counterarguments and evidences, he delibers his opinion that these phrases should not have been changed and should still read 'straight and narrow path [or course].'"
