A groundbreaking look at the relationship between two sacred texts
The Book of Mormon’s narrative privileges Isaiah over other
sources, provocatively interpreting and at times inventively
reworking the biblical text. Joseph M. Spencer sees within the Book
of Mormon a programmatic investigation regarding the meaning and
relevance of the Book of Isaiah in a world increasingly removed
from the context of the times that produced it. Working from the
crossroads of reception studies and Mormon studies, Spencer
investigates and clarifies the Book of Mormon’s questions about
the vitality of Isaiah’s prophetic project. Spencer’s analysis
focuses on the Book of Mormon’s three interactions with the
prophet: the character of Abinadi; the resurrected Jesus Christ;
and the nation-founding figure of Nephi. Working from the Book of
Mormon as it was dictated, Spencer details its vital and overlooked
place in Isaiah’s reception while recognizing the interpretation
of Isaiah as an organizing force behind the Book of Mormon.
