Archaeology and the Book of Mormon

With all the fascination of a well-plotted detective story, Archaeology and the Book of Mormon by Dr. Milton R. Hunter provides engrossing reading. From well-authenticated sources, Dr. Hunter weaves into this book the latter-day discoveries among the peoples of the Americas, the American Indians, and includes their present-day activities, their physical characteristics, their religious concepts. Dr. Hunter then reaches into their background through the architectural and cultural remains, through their own traditions, and in the light of Book of Mormon history relates these peoples to Book of Mormon peoples and the three great migrations recorded in that sacred hook.

Dr. Hunter explores thoroughly the controversial question of the horse in the Americas, the white Indians of the Western Hemisphere, together with their Middle Eastern and Hebraic customs and even physical characteristics. And throughout the book are the interesting and unusual sidelights that Dr. Hunter reveals as the result of his alert eyes and quick mind as he traveled through the various countries.

Archaeology and the Book of Mormon will provide a tremendous incentive to further analytical study on the part of the reader, and the Book of Mormon will become what it was intended to be—an instrument to build faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
