Description: From LDS Historian H. Michael Marquardt:"Students of the Bible typically feel the influence of the 1769 King James Edition while reading the Book of Mormon. This influence has been identified in different ways through the years. Emphasis has usually been placed on the similarities to the New Testament, since this seems to point out the anachronistic nature of the Before the Christian Era pages of the book. Though New Testament similarities are overwhelming, so are the comparisons to the Old Testament and the obscure books of the Apocrypha. "In The Bible to Book of Mormon Comparative Dan Wees has chosen to compare the text of the Book of Mormon with the Bible. The comparison evidences the complete saturation of likeness, with most comparisons being word-for-word patterns. This three-volume set begins with a verse-by-verse analysis of First Nephi through Mosiah. Projected for release in 2020, volume two will focus on Alma, and the trilogy will conclude in 2021 with Helaman through Moroni. This analysis is worthy of study. Though many individuals search for the elusive “smoking gun” source for the Book of Mormon, the answer may well lie within the book itself." It's difficult to dismiss the influence of the KJV in the Book of Mormon. In fact, the LDS Church even acknowledges that large sections, including full chapters, compare almost identically with the Bible. The database utilized to produce this comparison has hundreds of thousands of exact 3+ word examples, which have been trimmed down to the best examples for each verse in the Book of Mormon. Some are seemingly common, others are very rare. Once the student sees the saturation of the KJV in the Book of Mormon, and realize that the Apocrypha was common to the KJV also, the influence grows to being undeniable, and the reader will never be able to deny the origins of the Book of Mormon.This is a 'must have' volume for anyone interested in finding the "Smoking Gun" source.
