Over the course of his career, Brant A. Gardner has continually refined how we read and understand the Book of Mormon. Bringing together and updating some of his classic articles and presentations from over the past twenty-five years, this volume demonstrates his methodical approach to the scripture. Addressing topics from the social history of the early Nephites to the cognitive realities of Joseph Smith's translation process, this collection avoids easy answers and overstatement. Instead, it offers a rigorous, text-first exploration for readers looking to deepen their understanding of the Book of Mormon's ancient setting and modern emergence.
