"In this paper, I want to comment on the way we approach the Book of Mormon as modern, educated Latter-day Saints, particularly as our reading is affected by the gold plates. How does the book's fabulous background influence Mormons as they read? We don't usually think of the plates as we open to 2 Nephi or Helaman, but they are always there as the backstory of the text, and their presence, in my opinion, does affect how we read." [Author]
