In 2016, Michael Austin, and English professor and author of several books on the literary characteristics of the Bible, decided to read the Book of Mormon for the first time since his LDS mission 30 years ago. Each week, he wrote a brief essay on the blog BY COMMON CONSENT describing his reading. These essays have been reprinted in full in #BOM2016

About the author

I am an English professor who became an administrator who dreams of being a political pundit. After eleven years teaching English and writing books like this, I accepted a position as the Provost and Academic Vice President at Newman University in Wichita, Kansas. All the while, though, I dreamed of being a talking head. Soon after moving into administration, I started to write the Founderstein Blog, which examines contemporary politics from a historical perspective. My most recent book is That's Not What They Meant Reclaiming the Founding Fathers from America's Right Wing, a 75,000 word op-ed piece that treats the misuse of history by conservative politicians and media personalities.

Every bit as good as I remember. I have to take back all the times I've said negative things about English degrees.
