The True Origin Of The Book Of Mormon

By Charles A. Shook

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.
