[David Barney · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book had many interesting insights to the Book of Mormon. This is the beauty of the Book of Mormon, there is so much to learn from this set of scripture. The chapters are short and to the point. I like that.

Published in 1992, this book summarizes the first ten years of research since the F.A.R.M.S. was founded by John Welch (now called Maxwell Research Institute). Generally, quite technical but all research highlights the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. Horses, barley, Semitic languages similarities to some Indian languages, and many other topics. I liked this book summary. I would like to see a book that summarizes research in the last 20 years.

A hodge-podge, consisting of findings and parallels, plus a surprisingly large numbers of questions asked, with hopes of future answers. Worthwhile for the occasional insight, but not crucial by any means.

Some pretty indepth scholarly material. It is a followup after 10 years of a book called Exploring the Book of Mormon. A lot of material you will not find elsewhere. (Happy me birtday)
