The Book of Mormon as Literature: Allegory, Chiasmus, Hebrewisms, Poetry (Maryland)

Professor Gordon Wood, a non-Mormon, stated, the Book of Mormon is an extraordinary work, one of the greatest documents in American cultural history. Episcopalian Daniel Howe (Pulitzer Prize-winning, What God Hath Wrought) noted, the Book of Mormon should rank among the great achievements of American literature. Others argue that the Book of Mormon will be one of the world's foremost religious texts. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and non-members do not agree on its origin; nonetheless, it is an epic worthy of reading as American literature. This is not to proselyte, rather to give insights into a misunderstood book and its beautiful literary devices.
