Ishmael, we read, was buried in a place called Nahom. Nahom is one of those names that impressed me. Evidence of the authenticity of the Book of Mormon continues to mount. During his mission in Germany, Jack Welch found verses in the Book of Mosiah that clearly form a chiasmus, or an X-shaped configuration. That finding evidenced ancient rather than modern authorship.
Scholars continue to find and publish new insights into what the book says and how it says it.
A distinguished literature professor has published a recent book containing his lifetime study of the Book of Mormon, detailing its astonishing variety of literary forms. 6 Statisticians have found evidence of multiple authors within the covers of the book. Although these evidences have added to my testimony, the original powerful witness of the Holy Ghost has remained unshaken and unaltered. It has also recurred many times. I also wonder if we fully appreciate the value and strength of the witnesses' testimonies published in each copy of the Book of Mormon.
