The Book of Mormon


I’m almost done reading the Book of Mormon. Is it “another testament of Jesus Christ”? I don’t think so. I’ve been listing reasons for my doubts: though it was allegedly composed by different people over hundreds of years, it has the same voice and style throughout; though most of the documents were purportedly written before Christ, they reflect the enlightenment ideals of democracy, liberty, and individual rights; though the gospel of Christ is hidden in the Old Testament, it is explicit in the Book of Mormon; and though it makes historical claims, there is no independent evidence they are true.
