"This article demonstrates certain similarities existing between texts in 1 Nephi in the Book of Mormon and a little-known document entitled 'The Narrative of Zosimus.' The Narrative's core material was written originally in Hebrew and appears to be at least as old as the time of Christ, and perhaps much older. There is no evidence that any knowledge about the Narative of Zosimus existed in any English-speaking land prior to the publication of the Book of Mormon. Accounting for these similarities is complicated. In a religious context, the parallels between the two writings may be explained as deriving from a common source of extensive revelation. Examined academically, the parallels are an intellectual challenge with no definite resolution. Even though I cannot account for these parllels on all respects, their mere existence tends to support claims of an Ancient Near Eastern origin for the Book of Mormon." [Author]
