Book of Mormon Authorship Revisited: The Evidence for Ancient Origins

Rating:
Summary: Pretty good book....Exactly what the title says.
Review: I believe this book wasn't written to prove the book of mormon is true, I think the book of mormon proves itself. However, This book is widely directed to those interested in finding evidence for its ancient origins. It is a scholarly directed book and although the essays are persuasive, the introduction of evidence is entirely objective. I'll continue my search for the truth, and this book will be read and re-read throughout my lifetime.

Summary: I'm Not a Mormon but I liked this Book
Review: This book presents scholarly arguments in favor of the thesis that the Book of Mormon is an "ancient book," i.e., not a hoax. It certainly evidences a higher respect for scholarship than most anti-mormon rants.

Rating:
Summary: A Solid and Challenging Book
Review: This is a solid piece of work, parts of which are even quite impressive. There is a great deal of Mormon scholarship being generated in recent years, and very few outsiders -- emphatically including anti-Mormon critics -- seem even to be aware of it. This book is a reasonably good place to get a sample of that scholarship.
