The Book of Mormon: Still Standing After Years of Scrutiny

For now 195 years, the Book of Mormon has been examined, attacked, and deconstructed like few other texts in religious history. And yet, it still stands.

Theories about its origin have come and gone, none surviving serious scrutiny. Why? Because no explanation accounts for the depth, literary structure, semitic complexity, and powerful witness of Jesus Christ found in its 531 pages.

No wicked man could write such a book. No good man would—unless it were true and commanded by God.

To dismiss the Book of Mormon without honestly grappling with its origins and impact is not just unwise—it’s a refusal to confront something miraculous. For tens of millions, it has changed everything.

I know that the Book of Mormon is true scripture just as much as the Bible. Coming from a time where I did not believe I know without a doubt that it’s Gods word. I cannot deny it. And just like Jeffery R. Holland said, “It Still Stands” after every attack imaginable. There is no way that this book is not the word of God. #ComeUntoChrist #bookofmormon #jesuschrist #truth #jefferyrholland
