About this title

Synopsis

Since the rediscovery of the Joseph Smith Papyri in 1967, the papyri have been the center of conflicting, and often confusing, claims. This full-color, reader-friendly guide contains an overview of the basic facts and major theories about the papyri, along with helpful maps, illustrations, charts, and glossaries of terms and names.

Written by Egyptologist John Gee, this guide reflects not only the latest Egyptological research but also the most recent Latter-day Saint thought about the papyri. A Guide to the Joseph Smith Papyri provides answers to such questions as: What are the Joseph Smith Papyri? What do they look like? What did they contain? Where did the Joseph Smith Papyri come from and what happened to them? What does the Book of Abraham have to do with the Joseph Smith Papyri? What is a Book of Breathings? How does it relate to the Joseph Smith Papyri? What do Latter-day Saints and non-Latter-day Saints think about the papyri? What issues do they agree on?
