The Challenge the Book of Mormon Makes to the World: Thirty Conditions Any Writer Must Meet to Produce a Comparable Book

The Challenge the Book of Mormon Makes to the World takes its name from a remarkable document authored by Hugh B. Brown which outlines thirty conditions any writer would need to meet to write a book comparable to the Book of Mormon. With these conditions as framework, the book provides extensive evidence in support of the assertion that neither Joseph Smith, an unlearned farm boy, nor the most celebrated of scholars, or anyone else, could have produced the Book of Mormon without divine aid. Among the many evidences found in this meticulously researched book, are what have been called “infallible proofs” of the Book of Mormon—literary, linguistic, archaeological, doctrinal, historical, prophetic—along with many beautiful stories of conversion. The Challenge is written to help brighten the flame of testimony in everyday Latter-day Saints, in those in which it may have dimmed, and in sincere investigators of the restored gospel.
