About the Book

The 44th Annual Brigham Young University Sidney B. Sperry Symposium

The 2015 Brigham Young University Sidney B. Sperry Symposium explored the modern miracle of the translation and publication of the Book of Mormon. Featuring a keynote address by Elder Merrill J. Bateman discussing the Book of Mormon's restoration of plain and precious truths, this volume describes the development of the teenage seer Joseph Smith Jr. and includes marvelous accounts of the many witnesses to the plates. It tells the story of the Book of Mormon, from Joseph Smith's translation of the sacred record to the process of financing and printing the first edition, and concludes with its message rolling forth to many nations—to "every kindred, tongue, and people."
