{"product_id":"9781486413331","title":"The Book of Mormon - The Original Classic Edition","description":"Seminal Book for American Religious Scene: This original version of the Book of Mormon ought to be of interest to anyone who studies religion in general and\/or American religions in particular. Certainly any serious student of the Book of Mormon would want a copy of the original. There are neither faith-shaking changes for the LDS since this edition, nor is it the same as the Book of Mormon published today in flavor and style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrior to Orson Pratts versification of the text and later modifications and tidying up, the New England roots of the author\/translator come through clearly. One must be amazed, if Joseph Smith is a prophet, at the labor he performed under less-than-optimal conditions in his father-in-laws cottage. One must also be amazed, if he was not a prophet, at the complexity of the stories contained in this fascinating work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is where it all started. 11+ million people at least nominally believe that this book is Sacred Scripture today. Its worth getting to know.
