Like other Christian denominations, the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (Mormons) has been engaged in the battle for the
Bible since challenges to biblical authority began to exert
significant influence in America toward the end of the nineteenth
century. Other believing communities have responded with various
reevaluations of biblical text. Latter-day Saints have experimented
with similar approaches, often taking liberal positions on biblical
authority and conservative positions on history and authorship.
However, Latter-day Saints accept additional scripture as well as
embracing a theology notably distinct from traditional
Christianity. Hence, Latter-day Saints relate to the Bible
differently from other Christians, creating gaps with mainstream
biblical studies. This volume bridges that gap. From comparing the
Book of Mormon to the Bible or the Dead Sea Scrolls, to Mormon
feminists’ biblical studies approaches to the Gospels, this
volume takes a comprehensive and inclusive approach to
understanding Bible scholarship’s role in Mormon history and
exploring these differences for both scholars and students. A
diverse group of contributors presents an accessible resource to
mediate between Latter-day Saint traditions and the broader context
of biblical history, literature, and scholarship. Each essay
provides a synopsis of relevant major scholarly views and delivers
new insights into a wide variety of Bible receptions.
