Description

The Annotated Book of Mormon by Grant Hardy is the first fully annotated, academic edition of this 200-year-old text. This edition presents the complete scriptural text in a modern and accessible format, with paragraphs, quotation marks, poetic stanzas, and section headings that clarify its complicated narrative structure. Annotations explain the meaning and context of specific passages, while also exploring theological implications, highlighting ancient and modern parallels, and pointing out intertextual connections. The book is subdivided into internal books, each preceded by an introduction that discusses its key themes and literary features. Twelve general essays introduce readers to various ongoing conversations about the text, accompanied by maps, charts, and a comprehensive list of biblical quotations and allusions. This edition is informed by contemporary biblical and historical scholarship, treating the Book of Mormon as a sacred text worthy of careful study and respect.
