Literary Evidence for the Book of Mormon with Jonah Barnes

https://ScriptureNotes.com/literary-e... - What is the greatest evidence of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon? The text itself. The claim of the Book of Mormon is that it is a record of ancient prophets who left Jerusalem and came to the Americas carrying what they called the brass plates, ancient records kept at that time (around 600 BC). The inspired summary of teachings of these American prophets was done by a prophet named Mormon whose record was translated by Joseph Smith and published in 1830. At that time, only the Deuterocanon (known as the Apocrypha) had been discovered. Since that time, hundreds of apocryphal writings have been discovered and we now see (thanks to the work of people like Jonah Barnes) that there are HUGE parallels in these ancient writings which match up to the Book of Mormon. It is a stunning evidence of the legitimacy of the Book of Mormon's claim of authenticity.
