Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Credentials of the Book of Mormon and Mormonism, Vol. 1: A Critical Study, August 1912
Joseph Smith comes under investigation as author and his his tory is given and his character delineated only so far as his history re?ects light on his book, and his book reveals him. The later history of the people, their peculiar customs, the political questions involved, the system of religious socialism which binds the members together and their peculiar doctrines and practices are discussed incidentally, and only where they elucidate the book under examination.
The objective point is the Book of Mormon. Is it true, or false? If true, Mormonism is true and invulnerable. If false, neither logic, nor faith, nor prayer, can save it. Mormon writers have often con ceded this. They accept the alternative; so must we all.
