Morris, George Q. “What Is the Book of Mormon.” Deseret News Church Section (7 December 1940): 8.The Book of Mormon is not an ordinary history, it is a book with a purpose. It is a “new witness” for Jesus Christ. Its greatest purpose is to convince Jews and Gentiles that Jesus is the Christ. Out of 239 chapters only seventy-five have no relationship with the things of God. The testimony of Nephi and Jacob sustain the idea that the Book of Mormon was written to bear testimony of Jesus Christ.

Shute, Evan. “The Book of Mormon as Literature.” Saints’ Herald 90 (27 February 1943): 263-65, 278.A literary analysis in rebuttal to allegations that the Book of Mormon was poor literature.

It is the work of multiple writers, two abridgers, and a translator, all of whom influenced the work with their own style and idioms, yet its clarity never fails. It is “self-consistent” and the “literary style is admirably adapted to the role the book was intended for”
