Product Description

Review

This is a closely written, thoughtful (if polemical) book by a devoted scholar. It is certainly provocative reading, whether you happen to be a Mormon or not. New York Times A remarkably lucid and useful study of the patterns of American prejudices against the Mormon people. It provides also a valuable paradigm for the study of all religious heresy. Harold Bloom, Yale University

4.0 out of 5 stars A generous appraisal, 13 Jan 2004
By Mr. A. Boycott "Alan" (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book attempts to provide a rationale for the Book of Mormon but fails to unlock the power of its message. Nevertheless, the book provides a valuable insight into what the Book of Mormon contains and a secular response to the challenge presented by its supernatural background.
