C. C.001 C., J. E. “Dr. Duncan and the Book of Mormon.” MS 52 (1 September 1890): 552-56. A defense of the Book of Mormon against the criticism of Dr. Duncan in the Islington Gazette of August 18th. Dr. Duncan, evidently a literary critic, concluded that the Book of Mormon was either a clumsy or barefaced forgery or a pious fraud. The author writes that the Book of Mormon makes clear many doctrines that are difcult to understand in the Bible. Also, the history and gospel taught by the Bible and the Book of Mormon are similar because both were inspired of God. [B. D.] C.002 C., M. J. “Mormonism.” Plainsville Telegraph (March 3, 1831): 4. Tells of the conversion of Sidney Rigdon who read the Book of Mormon and “partly condemned it” but after two days accepted it as truthful. He asked for a sign though he knew it was wrong and saw the devil appearing as an angel of light. The author of this article warns against the Book of Mormon and against the deception of the Mormons. [J.W.M.] C.003 Cadman, Sadie B., and Sara Cadman Vancik. A Concordance of the Book of Mormon. Monongahela, PA: Church of Jesus Christ, 1986. A complete but not exhaustive concordance, listing words alphabetically. Contains also a historical chronology of the events in the Book of Mormon. [D.W.P.] C.004 Caine, Frederick Augustus. Morumon Kei To Wa Nanzo Ya? Tokyo: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1909. A two-page tract. English title is “What is the Book of Mormon?” [D.W.P.] C.005 Cake, Lu B. Peepstone Joe and the Peck Manuscript. New York: L. B. Cake, 1899. A polemical work against Mormonism. The author enumerates various criticisms of the Book of Mormon related to domesticated animals, the Spaulding theory, contradictions with the Bible, King James English, the Hebrew/Egyptian background, and the testimony of Book of Mormon witness. [M.R.] C.006 Calder, Graydon K. A Brief Preview of the Book of Mormon. Australian Mission: Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, n.d. A summary of the contents of the Book of Mormon, with some explanatory notes. The work explains the structure and historical background of the Book of Mormon to the unfamiliar reader. [B.D.] C.007 Caldwell, C. Max. “A Mighty Change.” In The Book of Mormon: Alma, The Testimony of the Word, edited by Monte S. Nyman and Charles D. Tate Jr., 27-46. Provo, UT: Brigham Young University Religious Studies Center, 1992. Alma reminds the people of Zarahemla of their recent physical and spiritual captivity and reviews how the devil is able to forge the chains of hell and make them captive. Truth, which brings freedom and a “mighty change” in the hearts of individuals, is available through scripture, living prophets, and the Holy Ghost. [N.K.Y.] C.008 Caldwell, C. Max. “What Think Ye of Christ?” Ensign 14 (February 1984): 18-22. How one perceives Christ will determine one’s attitude toward God’s commandments, Church leaders, and life’s obstacles. Trials and tribulations may become “stepping-stones or stumbling blocks,” depending on how the Atonement of Jesus is received by an individual. [S.P.S.] C.009 Calhoon, W. R. “The Book of Mormon.” SH 31 (13 December 1884): 801-2. Personal testimony of the importance of the Book of Mormon. Includes a 12-stanza poem by Sr. Randall concerning “the precious boon” of the Book of Mormon. Exhorts RLDS people to “repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon.” [A.C.W.] C.010 Call, Gail. “Antenantiosis in the Book of Mormon.” In Reexploring the Book of Mormon, edited by John W. Welch, 96-97. Salt Lake City: Deseret Book and FARMS, 1992. Antenantiosis states a proposition in terms of its opposite. The gure of speech is used in Jacob 4:8 as “despise not the revelations of God,” and Mormon 9:29, “if ye do this and endure to the end, ye will in nowise be cast out,” and in several other places. The technique, used also in the Old Testament, is an effective teaching tool. [N.K.Y.] C.011 Call, Lamoni. Anti-Mormon Queries. Bountiful, UT: n.p., 1900. A four-page polemical tract asking questions about the Urim and Thummim, the translation processes, and the changes in the Book of Mormon. [D.M.] C.012 Call, Lamoni. 2000 Changes in the Book of Mormon. Bountiful: Lamoni Call (reprint by Modern Microlm: Salt Lake City), 1898. A polemical work against the Book of Mormon. The author assumes a letter perfect and grammar perfect translation of the Book of Mormon through the Urim and Thummim. He therefore presents over 2000 changes in the text of the Book of Mormon since the 1830 edition and concludes that Joseph Smith was therefore uninspired. [M.R.] C.013 Callis, Charles A. “Book of Mormon Prophecies Fullled.” DN (28 August 1943): 7-8. Text of radio address that details the numerous prophecies from the Book of Mormon that have since been fullled, including Nephi’s prophecies about the Gentiles and the gospel, the existence of latter-day believers who will receive the Holy Ghost and endure martyrdom, and the birth of Jesus Christ. “Conrmed by completion,” these prophecies are evidence of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. [A.C.W.] C.014 Callis, Charles A. “The Coming Forth of the Book of Mormon.” DN Church Section (25 September 1943): 11, 12. On September 21, 1823, an angel of God announced that records of an ancient American people taught by the Savior were to come forth. The inspired records would bring the fulness of the gospel to the house of Israel and to the Gentiles and add a second witness to the Bible. [J.W.M.] C.015 Callis, Charles A. Fundamentals of Religion: A Series of Radio Addresses. Independence, MO: Zion’s Printing and Publishing, 1945. Includes two addresses about the Book of Mormon: “Book of Mormon Prophecies Fullled,” pages 102-13, sets forth many prophecies of the Book of Mormon that have been fullled; and “The Coming Forth of the Book of Mormon,” pages 155-70, shows that the Book of Mormon came forth at a time of spiritual unrest and higher criticism of the Bible. Includes a short narrative of the angel Moroni’s visit, the delivering of the gold plates to Joseph Smith, and provides six purposes for which the Book of Mormon was written. [J.W.M.] C.016 Callis, Charles A. “Power of the Book of Mormon.” DN Church Section (24 June 1939): 2, 7. In keeping with the Lord’s promises in the Book of Mormon that the land of America should be free from monarchical forms of government and slavery, the U.S. government has adopted many policies to protect America and fulll the prophecy that it would be a “choice land above all others” (1 Nephi 13:30). Two inspired measures that assist in the preservation of America are the Constitution and the Monroe Doctrine. [J.W.M.] C.017 Callis, Charles A. “Testimony from the Book of Mormon.” IE 49 (November 1946): 700, 717. Presents his testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. [L.D.] C.018 Callis, Charles A. Untitled talk. CR (October 1911): 87-89. The Book of Mormon came forth to establish the truthfulness of the Bible and to declare the divinity of Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith brought forth the Book of Mormon and subsequently suffered persecution similar to the manner in which Wycliffe and Tyndall were persecuted as they made the Bible available. [J.W.M.] C.019 Callis, Charles A. Untitled talk. CR (October 1916): 93-96. Burial mounds in the Southern United States prompt questions concerning the identity of the people who are buried there. The Book of Mormon may shed light on such questions. The warning issued by the Lord to the ancients and to those of the present day are to follow Jesus, experience a spiritual rebirth, and practice faith, repentance, and humility as recorded in Alma 32. [J.W.M.] C.020 Callis, Charles A. Untitled talk. CR (October 1937): 120-23. The richest hills on earth have not brought forth gold and silver in great amounts, but have brought forth the greatest spiritual wealth. They are Calvary in Jerusalem where the Savior wrought the Atonement and the Hill Cumorah that brought forth the truth of the Savior’s marvelous ministry to his people in America. Like the Bible, the Book of Mormon testies of Christ and reveals the great destiny of America. [J.W.M.] C.021 Callis, Charles A. “Vest Pocket Notes on the Book of Mormon.” DN Church Section (24 April, 1, 8, 22 May 1937): 3, 2, 2, 2. Announces the number of languages into which the Book of Mormon has been translated, summarizes the book’s contents, and discusses its prophecies concerning the United States. [M.D.P.] C.022 Campbell, Alexander. “Delusions: An Analysis of the Book of Mormon.” Millennial Harbinger 2 (7 February 1831): 85-96. Reprinted as Delusions: An Analysis of the Book of Mormon. Pamphlet. Boston: Green, 1832. An early attempt to identify specic problems with the Book of Mormon. Various anachronisms, absurdities and contradictions with the Bible are identied. The Book of Mormon shows evidence of being a mere product of its environment. [M.R.] C.023 Campbell, Alexander. “The Mormon Bible.” The Millennial Harbinger 3 (June 1839): 265-68. Rejects the Book of Mormon as an inspired book claiming that it was a “superstition so gross as that which must have characterized the founders of this pretended religious sect.” Accepts the Spaulding theory.
