A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Foreword From the year 1834 to the present, the majority of anti-M ormon polemics and writers have held to the view presented in these pages that the Book of Mormon is nothing more than Solomon Spaulding s Manuscript Found, revamped. Now and then one has been found who has doubted or denied this theory, but, generally speaking, it is the impregnable rock upon which the anti Mormon forces have taken their stand. Having been raised in the Reorganized Mormon Church, I was, from boyhood, taught that this claim is a myth; that the Manuscript Found had come to light in Honolulu, Hawaiian I slands, in 1884, and that it bears no resemblance, whatever, to the Book of Mormon. The influence of this training followed me even after I had apostatized, and for some years, in papers read before ministerial associations and elsewhere, I denied the Spaulding theory and attributed the Book of Mormon to the joint work of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. In this position I was, later, confirmed by reading the book, Doctrines and Dogmas of Mormonism, by D. H. Bays (1897), whose views, I found, coincided exactly with my own. It was not until a copy of A. T. Schroeder slittle booklet, The Origin of the Book of Mormon, Re-examined in I ts Relation to Spaulding s Manuscript Found, fell into my hands that I began to see the strong points in the Spaulding theory which I had overlooked.
