By Means of the Urim & Thummim: Restoring Translation to the Restoration

By James W Lucas and Jonathan E Neville

DID JOSEPH SMITH TRANSLATE THE BOOK OF MORMON OR NOT?
This book uses recent discoveries and new analyses to explore the many controversies surrounding this question. Was Joseph Smith a near illiterate who read words off of a stone in a hat, or did he translate engravings from ancient plates?

By Means of the Urim & Thummim sheds new light on these important questions.

Drawing on modern translation scholarship and technology, the authors propose an innovative model for the translation process which corroborates and supports what Joseph and Oliver said from the beginning; i.e. that Joseph Smith actually translated the text using the Nephite interpreters. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the miracle of translation that brought us the Book of Mormon.
