+#REDIRECT [[Question: Does the fact that the Book of Mormon has chapters demonstrate that it is a modern production?]]
-==Criticism==
-Critics claims that the fact that the Book of Mormon has chapters demonstrate that it is a modern production, since the "ignorant forger, in attempting to imitate the Bible, seems not to have known, that the division into chapters is a modern invention, and that the tables of contents are no part of the Bible, but are inserted or omitted at the option of the publisher of any edition."{{ref|forge.1}}
-{{CriticalSources}}
-==Response==
-The table of contents was a modern insertion; it had not counter-part in the dictated text of the Book of Mormon.  It was added just as it is in modern Bibles.
-The modern edition of the Book of Mormon was divided into chapters by Orson Pratt in 18??.{{nc}}  However, the first edition of the Book of Mormon ''did'' contain chapters (though much longer than the modern chapters), and chapter markers ''were'' part of Joseph's dictated text.
