This paper intends to take up the problem of reading and The Book of Mormon, which I believe the text presents but does not fully resolve. The problem of reading as developed in The Book of Mormon has been addressed throughout the Church’s history, from its early inception to today’s contemporary scholarship. If it was a reading that inspired Smith’s calling out to God, does the text that emerged from that appeal call out to be read? And if so, what sort of reading does it imagine for its audience?
