Available for the first time fifty years after the authors death, Studies of the Book of Mormon presents this respected church leaders investigation into Mormonisms founding scripture. Reflecting his talent for combining history and theology, B. H. Roberts considered the evident parallels between the Book of Mormon and Ethan Smiths View of the Hebrews, a book that predated the Mormon scripture by seven years. If the Book of Mormon is not historical, but rather a reflection of the misconceptions current in Joseph Smiths day regarding Indian origins, then its theological claims are suspect as well, Roberts asserted.In this and other research, it was Robertss proclivity to go wherever the evidence took him, in this case anticipating and defending against potential future problems. Yet the manuscript was so poorly received by fellow church leaders that it was left to Roberts alone to decide whether he had overlooked some important piece of the puzzle or whether the Mormon scriptures claims were, in fact, illegitimate. Clearly for most of his colleagues, institutional priorities overshadowed epistemological integrity.But Robertss pathbreaking work has been judged by the editor to be methodologically soundstill relevant today. It shows the work of a keen mind, and illustrates why Roberts was one of the most influential Mormon thinkers of his day. The manuscript is accompanied by a preface and introduction, a history of the documents provenances, a biographical essay, correspondence to and from Roberts relating to the manuscript, a bibliography, and an afterwordall of which put the information into perspective.
