Grant Hardy
Professor of History
Will read and discuss his forthcoming book,
Understanding the Book of Mormon: A Reader's
Guide (Oxford University Press)
From the book jacket -- "Mark Twain once derided
the Book of Mormon as "chloroform in print."
Long and complicated, written in the language of
the King James version of the Bible, it boggles
the minds of many. Yet it is unquestionably one
of the most influential books ever written. With
over 140 million copies in print, it is a
central text of one of the largest and
fastest-growing faiths in the world. And, Grant Hardy
shows,
it's far from the coma-inducing doorstop
caricatured by Twain. In Understanding the Book
of Mormon, Hardy offers the first comprehensive
analysis of the work's narrative structure in
its 180 year history."
