Synopsis

The True Origin Of The Book Of Mormon is a book written by Charles A. Shook that explores the origins of the religious text known as the Book of Mormon. The book examines the claims made by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, that he received the text through divine revelation and translated it from ancient golden plates. Shook presents evidence that suggests that Smith may have plagiarized parts of the Book of Mormon from other sources, including the Bible and popular books of his time. The book also delves into the historical and cultural context of the time period in which the Book of Mormon was written, shedding light on the social and political factors that may have influenced its creation. Overall, The True Origin Of The Book Of Mormon offers a critical analysis of the origins of one of the most important religious texts in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

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.
