Millions Call It Scripture: The Book of Mormon in the 21st Century

by Alan D. Tyree

How persons have viewed the Book of Mormon since 1830 has often been informed by churches, the print media, and society in general. Some have supported and others have detracted, but there has usually been no middle ground. This book suggests that, due to increasing knowledge available since the nineteenth century, at present there are various ways a person may regard the Book of Mormon. The author affirms the book as scripture while at the same time persistently asking the reader, "What do you think?" His purpose is to stimulate interested in and a discussion of the Book of Mormon's place in religious life and history.

Reviews

[Jonathan Bacon · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Millions" is a very thorough examination of the usage, facts and theories behind the "Book of Mormon." It's a very thought provoking work that supports individual research and conclusions on the nature and use of the book.
