Regarded as sacred scripture by millions, the Book of Mormon-first published in 1830- is one of the most significant documents in American religious history.
For this new reader's edition, Grant Hardy has reformatted the complete, unchanged 1920 text in the manner of modern translations of the Bible, with paragraphs, quotation marks, poetic forms, topical headings, multichapter headings, indentions of quoted documents, italicized reworkings of biblical prophecies, and minimized verse numbers.
He has also provided a hypothetical map based on internal references, an essay on Book of Mormon poetry, a full glossary of names, genealogical charts, a basic bibliography of Mormon and non-Mormon scholarship, a chronology of the translation, eyewitness accounts of the Gold Plates, and information regarding the lost 116 pages and significant changes in the text.
