Book Reviews of An Insider's View of Mormon Origins
Book Review: Very Good for LDS Wanting to Know Truth
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is excellent for any LDS member wanting to learn and know the TRUTH about their religion and its origins. Easy to read Palmer takes you on the journey on how the Book of Mormon is a fabrication and a lie. Yes your "testimony" is just an emotional appeal not based upon fact and TRUTH like Palmer's book. The part about Joseph Smith peering into his hat at a stone to translate was one of the highlights.
This book will help anyone willing to learn about LDS to come to a decisive decision to realize the LDS Inc. is a fraud.
Palmer's other book is a great read also. The Incomparable Jesus.
Summary of An Insider's View of Mormon Origins
Over the past thirty years, an enormous amount of research has been conducted into Mormon origins--Joseph Smith's early life, the Book of Mormon, the prophet's visions, and the restoration of priesthood authority. Longtime LDS educator Grant H. Palmer suggests that most Latter-day Saints remain unaware of the significance of these discoveries. He therefore gives a brief survey of the literature for all who have ever wanted to know more about the New Mormon History.He finds that what we take for granted as literal history has been tailored over the years for missionary purposes--slightly modified, added to, one aspect emphasized over another--to the point that the original narratives have been nearly lost. What was experienced as a spiritual event, something from an entirely different dimension, has been often refashioned as if it had been a physical, objective occurrence. This is not how the first Saints interpreted these events. Historians have reevaluated basic concepts surrounding these foundational stories and restored elements, including a nineteenth-century world view, that have been misunderstood, if not forgotten.
