About the Book

This is the first fully annotated, academic edition of the Book of Mormon in its 200-year history. Modelled after the Oxford line of annotated Bibles, it provides readers with the information they need to understand this classic text of American religious history. This edition reformats the complete scriptural text in the manner of modern Bible translations with paragraphs, quotation marks, poetic stanzas, and section headings, all of which clarify the book's complicated narrative structure. As a result, readers experience a more accessible and readable presentation than the standard version. Annotations explain the meaning and context of specific passages, delineate extended arguments, identify rhetorical patterns, explore theological implications, highlight ancient and modern parallels, and point out intertextual connections, particularly with the Bible.The Book of Mormon is subdivided into internal books; in this edition, each book is preceded by an introduction that discusses its key themes and literary features, at the same time offering a quick overview of major figures, events, and sermons. The three primary narrators--Nephi, Mormon, and Moroni--receive special attention. In addition to the annotations, which focus on the text itself, there are twelve general essays that introduce readers to various ongoing conversations about the text. There are also several maps and charts, as well as a comprehensive list of biblical quotations and allusions. The editorial material is informed by contemporary biblical and historical scholarship; while it deals forthrightly with both the strengths and weaknesses of the narrative, it nevertheless treats the Book of Mormon as a sacred text, worthy of careful study and respect.

Review :
The Annotated Book of Mormon opens up rich nuances of the texts and the impact of their reception as spirituality and literature. A significant contribution to understanding that reveals the contribution of the Book of Mormon to theology and religion. The Annotated Book of Mormon encourages serious study of a central text in American religious, literary, and cultural history. An essential guide for all readers. The Annotated Book of Mormon is a rich study resource that I hope will help transform the way we engage with the Book of Mormon as a people. For those who want to dive deep and appreciate the Book of Mormon's literary complexity and doctrinal richness in new ways, I heartily recommend this book. This annotated edition will be required reading for those in religious studies and for those wishing to avoid the missionizing nature of other editions. Those who want one copy of the Book of Mormon for scholarly readers across many fields will find that this one will serve well. Highly recommended. The Book of Mormon, published in 1830, is a crucial text for American religious history and beyond, as it is the origin of a highly successful new religious movement whose major branch, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has become an essential player among religions on a global scale...This first-ever annotated edition is a most welcome guiding tool, inviting us to re-read the book as a religious text. While the Book of Mormon's status as world scripture may still be up for debate, Hardy's multidimensional approach has successfully endowed it with a new level of intellectual heft, impressing upon his reader the profound complexity of the Mormon scripture and its great potential as the object of future academic inquiry.
