But surely, of the two, the experience of direct and convincing revelation would and should trump academic debate, and most obviously so for its recipient. The Interpreter Foundation was established in the conviction that reasoned discussion and analysis necessarily have a place in faithful discipleship, but also in the confidence that divine revelation has genuinely occurred. The role of reason, accordingly, is a helpful one. It serves an important ancillary function. However, it does not supplant experience with God and the divine and must never imagine that it can. Academic scholarship can refine and clarify ideas, correct assumptions, defend truth claims, generate insights, and deepen understanding, but, while human inquiry sometimes creates openings for revelation, it will never replace direct divine communication. Interpreter knows its place.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #004f00;\"><a style=\"color: #004f00;\" href=\"https:\/\/journal.interpreterfoundation.org\/the-book-with-the-unintentionally-self-referential-title\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Brant A.

Wunderli has written a book that works through the reasons he fell out of belief in the Book of Mormon. These are combined with issues that he has added to his original reasons. His presentation is clearly intended to suggest that what he found compelling will also be compelling to other readers. Should it? This review looks at how his arguments are constructed: his methodology, the logic of the analysis, and the way he uses his sources.

In doing so, Wunderli marshals evidence and presents his argument as if he were an attorney defending a client in court. Unfortunately, Wunderli\u2019s case suffers from the same weaknesses and limitations of other naturalist criticism in that it exaggerates Joseph Smith\u2019s intellectual and cultural background and compositional skills while ignoring the Book of Mormon\u2019s deep structure, narrative complexity, and often intricate rhetorical patterns.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #004f00;\"><a style=\"color: #004f00;\" href=\"https:\/\/journal.interpreterfoundation.org\/nephi-a-postmodernist-reading\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Benjamin L.
