“Liberation from temporal constraint appears to be an important element of what is occurring in The Book of Mormon and related Mormon scripture.”

“Written language requires such a gift because writing drifts from its original context to an inscrutable mystery separated from contemporary readers by linguistic change and the original speaker’s absence.”

“What we get in any scripture is just one small part of God’s infinite corpus. Writing can never be exhaustive; scripture can never be complete. Not just because God will never stop talking, but because written language can never be adequate to the mysteries of the cosmos. Scripture is always partial: It cannot fully encompass the subjects it hopes to treat. Protestantism, with its central doctrine of sola scriptura, is a lost cause from the very beginning on this Mormon view.”
