American Testament: The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible and is a record of God's dealings with His chosen people in the New World. The main purpose of the Book of Mormon is "to the convincing of Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations." (Book of Mormon Title Page) It was written by ancient American prophets for our day (Mormon 8:35) and is an American testament of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Brant Gardner on Mormon's Editorial Method

At the 2008 FAIR Conference, Brant Gardner, author of the landmark series Second Witness: Analytical & Contextual Commentary on the Book of Mormon, delivered a speech discussing Mormon's editorial method. I would like to post the paper on the blog, as I find it not only remarkably interesting but very important in furthering Book of Mormon research.
