Mormon's Codex: An Ancient American Book
Mormon s Codex is the culmination of a lifetime s labor by Mormonism s preeminent Mesoamerican specialist. Since 1949 John Sorenson has been collecting archaeological and anthropological evidence to show that Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon from a native Mesoamerican codex, or book. Now, having assembled a mountain of evidence, he boldly challenges scholars to take the Book of Mormon seriously as a priceless source of information about Mesoamerican history and culture. --Richard Lyman BushmanMormon s Codex will immediately serve as the high-water mark of scholarship on the Book of Mormon. Terryl L. Givens --Terryl L. GivensFor decades, John Sorenson has been among the foremost students of the Book of Mormon, and the principal advocate for a limited Mesoamerican geography. I vividly remember the excitement of reading An Ancient American Setting for the Book of Mormon back in 1985. Now, in Mormon s Codex, we have the rich results of nearly 30 years of additional study. I have eagerly anticipated this book. --Daniel C. Peters
