"In the half-century or so after 1880, most analysis of the Book of Mormon among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was in reaction in some way to the rise of modern academic methods of studying Christian scripture, many of which cast doubt on its traditional origins and its historical claims. As with many other American Christian faiths, most Latter-day Saint reactions were negative. Initially, Latter-day Saints believed the Book of Mormon to be a pristine and divine refutation of such techniques. Over time, however, it became evident that the Book of Mormon could indeed be subjected to these very methods, and Latter-day Saint writers reacted variously: while some became convinced that such criticism revealed the Book of Mormon to be shallow or ahistorical, others asserted that responsible academic study could validate its claims and even offer new means of interpretation for understanding its message."
