Reexploring the Book of Mormon

John W. Welch (Editor), Salt Lake City, Utah: Deseret Book Company, 1992, 6x9" softbound, 314 pages. ISBN: 0875796001

The Book of Mormon invites exploration and reexploration. After more than 150 years of careful reading, we are still learning to appreciate its fullness, understand its origins, and comprehend its messages.

Reexploring the Book of Mormon yields a wealth of new insights. More than ever before, patient and skillful research during the last decade has led from one discovery to another.

Since 1981, the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (F.A.R.M.S.) has issued articles and Updates-brief, readable reports on current discoveries about the origins and contents of the Book of Mormon. Eighty-Five of these findings published through 1991 have been collected in this volume. Topics include: -How long it took Joseph Smith to translate the plates. -What did Charles Anthon really say? -Temples, kingship, and coronation among the Nephites. -The seasonality of Nephite warfare. -Poetic forms in the Book of Mormon. -The horse, silk and linen in ancient America. -Near Eastern origins of the names Nahom and Mulek. -The persistence of Israelite laws in Nephite culture. -The spiritual desires that motivated Columbus. -The covenant setting of Jesus' visit in 3 Nephi 11-18. - Our Nehite sacrament prayers.

This type of research does more than gather circumstantial evidence for the Book of Mormon. It explores many advenues of the record's internal complexity. It helps define the rich literary, anthropological, historical, and spiritual settings in which this scripture was written and translated.

Reexploring the Book of Mormon builds appreciation for the book that "contains the truth and the word of God."
