I've read dozens of books about Joseph Smith. How is it that suddenly
this author comes up with something none of the others managed to find?
For the record, I have also read the Spaulding Manuscript and Ethan
Smith's "View of the Hebrews." Those are the two works that Mormon
bashers generally say Joseph Smith "plagiarized." Having read them, I
know better.
I've done something else you probably haven't. I've read the Book of
Mormon, many times, in three different languages. I have also read
thorough, thoughtful treatises on it that find it to be of ancient Hebrew
origin.
Cite your case, if there is a citation, and not just innuendo, in your
book. You should have done that in your first message.
