Cumorah ~ Journal of Book of Mormon Geography ~ DAMAGED COPY!

Description

Where events in the Book of Mormon actually occurred has not been easy to determine. Early Saints believed that North America was the “land northward,” that South America was the “land southward,” and that Panama was the “narrow neck” that connected them. But as time passed geographers and archaeologists saw that events must have occurred in a smaller area. Many theories have emerged, but three in particular: 1. Mesoamerican setting, 2. South American setting, 3 North American setting.It is the purpose of this Journal to be open-minded regarding all theories and allow science and facts that come to light, to be considered.Our main goal is to “examine all theories of Book of Mormon geography.” This first volume includes the following: An Introductory History of Book of Mormon Geography, Bret A.
