Authentic: The Book of Mormon, Evidences of a Miracle

by Stephen L. Lundwall, Rebecca A. Lundwall

Knowing what to believe and how to determine authenticity is one of the great quests of our age. In this book, Stephen and Rebecca Lundwall suggest that to evaluate the authenticity of the Book of Mormon, readers must analyze its provenance—its journey through time, its ancient custodians and modern witnesses, and the miraculous process of its publication and trajectory into a worldwide, 200-million-book phenomenon despite the historical resistance, prejudice, and violence that have surrounded it. The Book of Mormon is a rare book whose creation and transmission seem designed to withstand the test of time, a remarkable record of ancient provenance made possible only by divine providence.

A rare understandable explanation of why the Book of Mormon is believable.

The authors do a great job of explaining provenance and how it pertains to an explanation of the truth and reliability of the Book of Mormon and its story of how it came about.

Ultimately believing becomes a choice after the author’s efforts to give multiple sources that support it.
