Understanding the Book of Mormon by Grant Hardy
This introduction, adopting approaches from literature and religious studies, for the first time makes the contents of the Book of Mormon accessible to outsiders in a comprehensive, detailed manner. By identifying the organizing principles of the text, which include multiple levels of narration, Hardy demonstrates that the book has more coherence and literary interest than is often assumed.
Though he wisely acknowledges the obstacles that the text can present to readers.. Hardy makes the journey worthwhile. In his capable hands, the narrators of the Book of Mormon acquire a high level of self-concious artistry and psychological depth. * Terryl Givens, Journal of Ecclesiastical History *
