Let's Talk about the Translation of the Book of Mormon
-
Salt Lake City, UT

Deseret Book

"Ever since it was first published in 1830, the Book of Mormon has been intensely scrutinized by both critics and believers. Part of that scrutiny has included speculation about how the book was produced, and many Latter-day Saints have found themselves confused by the various explanations put forth. How exactly did Joseph Smith translate the Book of Mormon? What is the Urim and Thummim, and how did Joseph use it? Why are there different theories of translation, and do they contradict what Joseph Smith and witnesses of the translation described? Historians Gerrit J. Dirkmaat and Michael Hubbard McKay strip away the noise and answer these questions by focusing on primary, historical sources-- records from the key players in the translation, including witnesses, scribes, and Joseph himself. They tell the story of how Joseph obtained the gold plates and then translated them, addressing many common questions Latter-day Saints have about the process." [From book flap]
