I don't normally say such things, but I do not believe that it is possible to read this heart-rending story with dry eyes. Dr. John Brown is mainly remembered for this slim book, and it is easy to see why it has survived. The author wrote a book that is highly informative about that earlier and more primitive time, and is also touching at the very core of humanity. This is a wonderful book, one that is often recommended to dog-lovers, and one that I recommend to everyone!

Many of the writers here -- whose articles are drawn from the somewhat monumental academic undertaking, The Encyclopedia of Mormonism -- allow the Book of Mormon to speak for itself. Therefore, we can see what the Book of Mormon appears to be when it is taken on face value that it is what it says it is: a text containing selected writings of an ancient people who were removed from the Near East and arrived and developed a multi-faceted cultural milieu in the Americas.
In this way, 'Mormons' and non-'Mormons' alike are able to determine whether the Book of Mormon has the kind of internal consistency that could make its self-contained assertions credible. This might not be the way that 'Mormons' want us to "test" their sacred literature, but it certainly bows to the scientific objectivity of contemporary academic standards.
In so doing, the book also proves that 'Mormon' scholars are genuine scholars and capable of participating in a broader academic field (as many of the contributors to this volume regularly do).
