A FAIR Analysis of: Criticism of Mormonism/Books, a work by author: B.H. Roberts, edited by Brigham D. Madsen
|
Ethan Smith’s Book, View of the Hebrews, as structural Material for the Book of Mormon; Unity of the American Race; American Language from One Source—The Hebrew |
It will appear in what is to follow that such “common knowledge” did exist in New England; that Joseph smith was in contact with it; that one book, at least, with which he was most likely acquainted, could well have furnished structural outlines for the Book of Mormon; and that Joseph Smith was possessed of such creative imaginative powers as would make it quite within the lines of possibility that the ook of Mormon could have been produced in that way.
—B.H. Roberts, “A Book of Mormon Study,” ‘’Studies of the Book of Mormon’’, p. 154
