60 Amazing Book of Mormon Facts

The Book of Mormon continues to be an important source of inspiration for millions of believers. However, since its publication in 1830, it has also stirred plenty of controversy. Some find the link between Native Americans and ancient Israelites to be implausible-however, these skeptics tend to dismiss the possibility without looking at the facts.

In 60 Amazing Book of Mormon Facts, author D. David Gregory, PhD, offers compelling evidence for many of the claims found in the Book of Mormon. Using published historical and archaeological evidence, he notes many similarities between ancient Middle Eastern peoples, Native Americans, and the people in the Book of Mormon. This includes considerable overlap in culture and language. He also discusses the DNA issue.

Some of the facts presented in this book were unknown before the year 2000, and this book fills many of the crucial gaps in understanding. For instance, a tribe of Mesoamerican people describe being visited by a bearded white God, which correlates with the belief that Jesus visited the Americas after his resurrection.

Whether you're a practicing Mormon or a lover of history, you'll find this book to be a fascinating exploration of this holy text of the LDS faith.
