The most accurate and readable edition of theBook of Mormonever published, based on the earliest sources available"The product of over two decades of painstaking labor by Royal Skousen . . . this Yale edition aims to take us back to the text Smith envisioned as he translated, according to the faithful, from golden plates that he unearthed in upstate New York."Stephen Prothero, Wall Street JournalWill forever change the way Latterday Saints approach modern scripture. Two hundred years from now students of the Book of Mormon will still be poring over Skousens work. What he has accomplished is nothing short of phenomenal.Grant Hardy, Journal of Book of Mormon StudiesFirst published in 1830, the Book of Mormon is the authoritative scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and its estimated 13 million members. Over the past twentyone years, editor Royal Skousen has pored over Joseph Smith's original manuscripts and identified more than 2,000 textual errors in the 1830 edition. Although most of these discrepancies stem from inadvertent errors in copying and typesetting the text, the Yale edition contains about 600 corrections that have never appeared in any standard edition of the Book of Mormon, and about 250 of them affect the text's meaning. Skousen's corrected text is a work of remarkable dedication and will be a landmark in American religious scholarship.Completely redesigned and typeset by nationally awardwinning typographer Jonathan Saltzman, this new edition has been reformatted in senselines, making the text much more logical and pleasurable to read. Featuring a lucid introduction by historian Grant Hardy, the Yale edition serves not only as the most accurate version of the Book of Mormon ever published but also as an illuminating entryway into a vital religious tradition.
