Description

Several explanations for the seemingly sudden appearance of the Book of Mormon have been put forth by both historians and apologists alike. This session presents significant new evidence that Nielsen believes necessitates the revision of all such authorship theories, including and especially the sole-authorship hypothesis—whether through creative writing, automatic writing, or inspired dictation. Neoteric observations reveal details in the Book of Mormon that could not have been put there by Smith. What is the real story behind how the two bookending characters (Nephi and Mormon) got their names? Where did the idea of Nephi being guided through the wilderness by a spiritually magnetic compass truly come from? Nielsen will present an authorship theory he deems as the most comprehensive, evidence-based, and satisfying explanation for how the Book of Mormon came to pass.
