Publisher's Synopsis
The Myth of the Manuscript Found or The Absurdities of the Spaulding Story is a book written by George Reynolds that aims to debunk the popular belief that the Book of Mormon was plagiarized from a manuscript written by Solomon Spaulding. Reynolds argues that there is no evidence to support this theory and that it is based on hearsay and conjecture. He presents a detailed analysis of the Spaulding manuscript and shows that it bears little resemblance to the Book of Mormon. Reynolds also examines the character of Joseph Smith and argues that he was a sincere and honest person who could not have engaged in plagiarism. The book is a comprehensive critique of the Spaulding theory and a defense of the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the origins of the Book of Mormon.Eleventh Book Of The Faith-Promoting Series.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
