Evidence for the Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon has virtually all the same features that have convinced scholars that the Apocalypse of Abraham is a translation of an ancient Semitic text. As such, these features reasonably support the Book of Mormon's claims to be an authentic, ancient text translated by the Prophet Joseph Smith from an ancient Near Eastern language. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland: The Book of Mormon is a text teeming with literary and Semitic complexity That cannot be easily ignored by those who wish to seriously grapple with Joseph Smith's prophetic mission.
