It\u2019s a very clear statement of the characteristically Mormon idea that revelation isn\u2019t restricted to the Bible, and that more scripture, beyond the Bible and from beyond even the traditional\u00a0lands<\/em>\u00a0of the Bible, will be forthcoming.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Book of Mormon\u00a0contains perhaps the only explicit condemnations of anti-Semitism in any religious tradition\u2019s canonical scripture. \u00a0(Certainly I<\/em> can think of no other.) \u00a0And this chapter represents the fundamental Book of Mormon text on the topic.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
