"This paper presents the results of an investigation of epanalepsis in the Book of Mormon to find out just how common an occurrence it is and to discover the source of the device. Three possible sources were considered : first, that it is part of the writing style of certain authors, and perhaps more characteristic of some than of others; second that it is primarily a product of literary form; and third, that it was introduced to the text by Joseph Smith when he translated the Book of Mormon."
