Synopsis

On the 200th anniversary of Joseph Smith being shown the gold plates, FAIR hosted the first of their open-call virtual conferences; that year’s conference focused entirely on the Book of Mormon. This volume brings together the inspiring and thought-provoking papers shared during that event, along with several others, including an opening keynote address by renowned historian Richard L. Bushman. With topics ranging from history and archaeology to doctrine and personal belief, these essays offer meaningful insights into the origins, translation, and enduring significance of the Book of Mormon. Whether you're a lifelong student of the scriptures or exploring questions of faith, this book invites you to see the Book of Mormon as ancient scripture—written on gold plates, translated by a prophet, and academically defensible.
