Daymon M Smith

A cultural history of the book of mormon Daymon M Smith

Beginning with Book of Mormon inspired fiction from the early 1900s, this volume explores the landscape of imaginary works generated by that book. Included are analyses of Hugh Nibley's scholarly imagined creations, various fan fictions, more recent "Sealed Portions" and other "pseudepigrapha" like the Mentinah Archives, various Books of Lehi, among other oddities of scriptures, culminating with the Abyssinian Book of Mormon. The usual insightfulness and humor run through this Part A of Volume Four, a study of what we have dreamed up from the Book of Mormon so far.
