Title A Third Jaredite Record: The Sealed Portion of the Gold Plates Author(s) Valentin Arts Reference Journal of Book of Mormon Studies 11/1 (2002): 50–59, 110–11. ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract In the Book of Mormon, two records (a large engraved stone and twenty-four gold plates) contain the story of an ancient civilization known as the Jaredites. There appears to be evidence of an unpublished third record that provides more information on this people and on the history of the world. When the brother of Jared received a vision of Jesus Christ, he was taught many things but was instructed not to share them with the world until the time of his death. The author proposes that the brother of Jared did, in fact, write those things down shortly before his death and then buried them, along with the interpreting stones, to be revealed to the world according to the timing of the Lord.

    Section 2 The Structure of the Book of Mormon Charts 13–25 Structure Chart 13 Book of Mormon Plates and Records Key Scripture Words of Mormon 1:3–11 Explanation Many ancient documents such as King Benjamin’s speech or the plates of brass were quoted or abridged by the ancient authors who compiled the books found on the small and large plates of Nephi. The abridgments, quotations, and original writings of those Book of Mormon historians are displayed on the left-hand and middle columns of this chart and are then shown in relation to the new set of plates produced by Mormon and Moroni that was delivered to Joseph Smith by the angel Moroni. Joseph dictated the original manuscript of the Book of Mormon from the plates of Mormon. Copying that original manuscript, parts of which survive today, Oliver Cowdery prepared a printer’s manuscript (owned by the RLDS Church). The first edition of the Book of Mormon was typeset from that printer’s manuscript. Source Grant R. Hardy and Robert E. Parsons, “Book of Mormon Plates and Records,” in Daniel H.

  • Executive Summary of the Annotated Edition of the Book of Mormon
    Executive Summary of the Annotated Edition of the Book of Mormon David R. Hocking and Rodney L. Meldrum, eds., Annotated Edition of the Book of Mormon (Salt Lake City, Utah: Digital Legend Publishing, 2018). 583 pp. $69.95 (hardcover). Part I: Introduction The FIRM Foundation has published a new Annotated Edition of the Book of Mormon (AEBOM). According to a description of the AEBOM offered by the editors, this edition “combine [sic] the original text of the ‘most correct book on earth’, with the secondary evidences of archaeology, artifacts, geology and geography in the “Heartland” of the United States.”1 The goal of this edition is “to help readers understand the everlasting gospel as explained in the text, together with what the modern prophets and apostles have taught about it.”2 Beyond this, the AEBOM seeks to defend the authenticity of the Book of Mormon and provide evidence for its historicity. While these goals are laudable, the AEBOM is unfortunately problematic to a staggering degree. On almost every page there are inaccuracies, embellishments, fallacies, dubious and unsubstantiated claims, selective use of evidence, parallelomania, presentism, false claims, pseudo-scientific and pseudo-scholarly claims, and a host of other errors. Cited material in some instances is misrepresented so the implied meaning contradicts original authorial intent. These errors range from the insignificant (e.g. innocent typographical errors) to the significant (e.g. the use of archaeological forgeries, pseudo-science, and distorted historical sources). 1 “Description” online at http://bookofmormonevidence.org/bookstore/product/annotated-book-of- mormon/ (Accessed October 22, 2018). 2 Ibid.

The following is our geographical analysis of these numerous details and the probable routes and locations they describe.

But I also understand that people who think they have to be as smart as the Lord, understand everything, and have no contradictions in their minds may have trouble.

A man reported in 1898, many years after the publication of the Book of struggling for breath without a head is hard to imagine (and Mormon.5 most people would not want to). However, this strange event is supported by medical research. Hadfield noted that “the event obviously astonished both Ether and Moroni, who chronicled it.” This is likely why they both would Dr. M.
