Traum, Samuel W. Mormonism against Itself. Cincinnati: Standard, 1910.

Chapters 1-10 of this polemical work against Mormonism deal with the Book of Mormon. The author considers the book a fraud on the basis that it contains gross anachronisms and absurdities such as the mention of steel and domesticated animals in America before Columbus. He attempts to discredit the testimonies of the Book of Mormon witnesses, raises the issue of the means of translation, finds corrections in the volume anachronistic, and discredits Mormon interpretations of Hebrew prophecies that are used to support the Book of Mormon. He also highlights what he sees as absurdities in Nephi’s description of their desert journey, suggests that the claim of Israelite influence upon American peoples is unfounded and unsupported by any substantial evidence, discusses alleged philological and linguistic problems with the book, and asserts that there is no archaeological or historical evidence to support Book of Mormon claims.

It specifies the proper mode of baptism, rejects infant baptism, rejects the doctrine of predestination, is a second witness of the Savior, stresses the terrible consequences of disobedience to gospel laws, and demonstrates the principle of modern revelation.

Penrose, Charles W. “The Egyptian Hieroglyphs in Yucatan.” The Latter-day Saints’ Millennial Star 72, no. 22 (2 June 1910): 344-46.

It is most remarkable that “modern scientists” could overlook the Book of Mormon while so much of their research in the Americas and Egypt adds evidences to the divinity of the work. The London Magazine reports that there is a connection between the hieroglyphs of the Mayas and those of the Egyptians. Could these hieroglyphs have originated with Adam and Eve, or was it Lehi’s company who brought them?

This article contains two works, both based on an article by Alice le Plongeon who argues that there is a connection between ancient Americans and ancient Egyptians, the latter originating from ancient America: “New Light Upon the Prophets Divinity” by R. W. Young, which proposes that America is the “old world” where Adam and Eve resided; and “Evidence In Support of The Book of Mormon” by Martin W. Roylance, which adds that the connection between these ancient peoples is explained by the Book of Mormon. He identifies Valparaiso, Chili, as the landing place for the Jaredites.

Cannon, Elizabeth Rachel. The Cities of the Sun: Stories of Ancient America Founded on Historical Incidents in the Book of Mormon. Second and Enlarged ed. Salt Lake City: The Deseret News, 1911.

The end justifies the means, so these stories are designed to increase interest in the Book of Mormon. Hundreds of books have been written founded on the Bible, and there are some wonderfully colorful accounts of the founding of Christianity in Judea, Alexandria, and Rome. It is surprising that more has not been done dealing with the ancient history of the western world. Several of these stories were first published in the Improvement Era, and acknowledgment is made to that magazine for the encouragement it extended to the author, who traveled twice to Mexico and excavated among the ruins there to gain information at first hand. If any boy or girl, after perusing these pages, is inspired to turn direct to the beautiful and simple language of the Book of Mormon itself, the purpose of “The Cities of the Sun” has been accomplished.

Since the Christian world is filled with unbelief, there was a need for a second witness. The Book of Mormon fulfills the prophecies of Ezekiel and Isaiah. Using the “old” (the Bible) and the “new” (the Book of Mormon) to support one another, the searcher for the truth may weigh the evidence favorably.

Roberts, B. H., ed. History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Volume 6: September 1843 – June 1844. Salt Lake City: Deseret News Press, 1912.

History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a semi-official history of the early Latter Day Saint movement during the lifetime of Joseph Smith.

The history was written between 1839 and 1856. Parts of it were published in Times and Seasons and other church periodicals. It was later published in its entirety with extensive annotations and edits by B. H. Roberts as part of a seven-volume series beginning in 1902 as History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Article mocks Joseph Smith’s claims that he translated the Book of Mormon under the inspiration of God, or that he had received gold plates. As proof that the Book of Mormon is fraudulent, Reverend F. S. Spalding of Utah’s Episcopal Church contacted eight renowned Egyptologists who state that the facsimiles are poorly copied and the translation was inept. Smith’s work is compared to artifacts found in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

Archaeologists have uncovered great civilizations in America. The scattering from the tower of Babel led people “everywhere” on the earth and the Book of Mormon bears witness of that fact. The book supports the Bible both in history and doctrine. It teaches of Christ and the historians have recorded that American natives had knowledge of Christianity before the Spanish came.

Evans, John Henry. “Bishop Spalding’s Jumps in the Logical Process.” Improvement Era 16, no. 4 (1913): 343-346.

This article shows that Bishop Spalding makes three unwarranted inferences in his pamphlet “Joseph Smith, Jr., As a Translator”—that the Book of Abraham is translated incorrectly, that the Book of Mormon cannot be authentic if the Book of Abraham is poorly translated, and that all Mormon belief should be discarded since the Book of Mormon is the basis of the religion.

Spalding that the Book of Mormon was not an authentic book because the Book of Abraham was translated incorrectly and that surely means that Joseph Smith was not a translator. Sjodahl points out that the Book of Mormon was translated by the gift and power of God, whereas the book of Abraham required seven years of laborious study coupled with inspiration. One cannot be judged on the merits of the other.

Fry’s reasons for believing the Book of Mormon include, it presents Christ as the Redeemer of the world; its doctrines are in full harmony with the doctrines of the Bible; its history is in harmony with the history of the Bible; every part is in perfect harmony with the whole; it is supported by competent witnesses; many of its prophecies have been fulfilled; it proves the fatherhood of God over the whole world; the Holy Spirit confirms its divinity.

Widtsoe, Osborn J. P. “The Unfair Fairness of Rev. Spalding.” Improvement Era 16, no. 6 (1913): 593-603.

This article explains why Reverent Spaulding’s testing of the Book of Mormon by examining the authenticity of the book of Abraham as an ancient Egyptian text is unfair. Latter-day Saints do not value the Bible less than the Book of Mormon. The belief of the Church is that both were divinely inspired of God and are placed on the same plane, though it is recognized that the Bible may have copyists’ errors.

Responds to an article by the same name written by Rev. Bishop F. S. Spaulding, who attempts to discredit the Book of Mormon by attacking the translation of the book of Abraham. The position of the RLDS church is that Spaulding was not able to discredit the Book of Mormon completely, and it is impossible and unfair to judge the Book of Mormon except upon its own merits.

Argues that it would be useless to show the Book of Mormon plates to the public, for a display of the gold plates would not build faith in Jesus Christ. The Lord has already sent a multitude of witnesses to testify of the Book of Mormon.

This article is a response to Reverend F. S. Spalding’s pamphlet Joseph Smith, Jr., as a Translator. Spalding attacks the Book of Mormon by testing the translation of the book of Abraham, saying that the validity of the Book of Mormon rests upon the correct translation of the book of Abraham. The author warns that the opinions of the scholars contacted are merely opinions and premature as well.

Mercer, Samuel A. B. “Joseph Smith as an Interpreter and Translator of Egyptian.” Utah Survey 1 (September 1913): 4-36.

A defense of F. S. Spaulding’s pamphlet Joseph Smith Jr., As a Translator that shows that Joseph Smith was either self-deceived or an impostor. Compares the facsimiles in Abraham and the characters of the Anthon transcript and asserts that the Book of Abraham and the Book of Mormon were written in the same Egyptian and therefore the Book of Mormon may be judged on the same basis as the Book of Abraham. The facsimiles have been proven to be falsely translated—thus the Book of Mormon also must surely be a false translation or a product of Joseph Smith.

Argues that the idea that Joseph Smith actually wrote the Book of Mormon is ridiculous and such an accomplishment would be similar to someone writing a 10-year historical work in a few weeks.

Anderson, Edward H., and Joseph F. Smith. “Joseph Smith’s ‘Translation’ of the Scriptures.” Improvement Era 17, no. 6 (1914): 590-596.

This article quotes the Eighth Article of Faith declaring that Latter-day Saints believe both the Bible and the Book of Mormon to be the words of God. Nephi taught that the Hebrew scriptures had “plain and precious parts” removed. For this reason Joseph Smith was called on to revise the Bible and produce an “inspired translation.

Pejorative psychological explanation of Joseph Smith. Claims that Joseph Smith “breathed an air saturated with the superstitions of debased forms of Christianity, pervaded with beliefs in signs, wonders and heavenly testimonials and peopled with spirits, angels and devils” Sees the Book of Mormon in this setting. Avers that while Joseph Smith worked on the Book of Mormon, he “appears to have assumed a multiplicity of personalities”

Answers the charge that Joseph Smith copied passages from the Bible into the Book of Mormon by arguing that often the Lord does not repeat laws and prophecies to men verbatim. This is clearly seen in the Hebrew Bible where it is observed that men who lived in the same land and in corresponding time periods recorded events differently as a comparison between passages of the Bible shows.

Young Mormons are disillusioned because F. S. Spaulding has proven that Joseph Smith was not an inspired translator. University of Utah professors have been expelled in order to quell growing progressive thinking among students. There are fears that the Book of Mormon will be proven to be false through modern archaeological research done at the university.

Adams, John Quincy. The Birth of Mormonism. Boston: Gorham, 1916.

A polemical work against Mormonism. The author discusses issues relating to the translation of the Book of Mormon, dismisses the testimonies of the Book of Mormon witnesses as unreliable. The Anthon denials are discussed, and the author alleges that the Book of Mormon has little value beyond what it plagiarizes from the Bible.

Richards, Franklin D. “Origin of the American Aborigines.” Liahona 14/20 (1916-1917): 305-8.

The prophet Joseph Smith taught in the Nauvoo House concerning the stick of Joseph, Ephraim, and Manasseh. Lehi was of the family of Manasseh and Ishmael and his family were of the house of Ephraim. The one hundred sixteen lost pages of the Book of Mormon contained a clear account of Ishmael’s ancestry. That is the reason, the prophet said, that no mention of Ishmael’s genealogy is in the Book of Mormon. Richards discusses the marriage relationships and union of the families. Lehi’s sons married Ishmael’s daughters thus combining the two tribes. Richards writes that this fulfills the prophecy in Genesis 48:20 that Ephraim and Manasseh together should become a multitude of nations.

Tanner, Alva A. A Key to the Book of Mormon. Oakley, ID: by the author, 1916.

Offers a challenge to all the world to examine the Book of Mormon closely to see if it will stand up under “every test” and analysis. Names used for cities and men never existed on this continent. Book of Mormon characters presented to Anthon are compared with Mayan hieroglyphs and there is no resemblance. Parts of the Book of Mormon have been borrowed from Shakespeare and the Bible.

Tanner, Alva A. The Book of Mormon Tested: Hieroglyphs on Marble In Central America Testify Against It. Oakley, ID: by the author, April 1916.

Argues against the claims made by the Book of Mormon and its authenticity. The Book of Mormon characters on the transcript taken to Professor Anthon hold no resemblance to those found in ancient American hieroglyphs preserved in marble.

Uses the Book of Mormon to refute claims made by LDS authorities concerning polygamy and claims that the LDS practiced polygamy in wickedness. Argues against a statement made by Brigham Young that the Nephites were too wicked to practice polygamy and argues that “raising up seed unto the Lord” is not a valid reason for practicing polygamy.

Ivins, Anthony W. “Multiplicity of Evidences Prove Divine Authenticity of the Book of Mormon.” Liahona 14 (October 1916): 241-47.

Response to criticism that Joseph Smith fabricated the Book of Mormon from his own milieu. It is unlikely that Joseph Smith could have realized the following points: the American Indians possess a number of legends that suggest an Israelite origin, including stories regarding the creation of the earth, the temptation of the first man and woman by a serpent, and Cain and Abel. Cement, mentioned in the Book of Mormon (Helaman 3:7, 9), was the primary building material of an ancient community that existed 40 miles north of present day Mexico City.
