Abstract
Abstract Perhaps surprisingly, most readers saw the Book of Mormon as embodying – not contesting – doctrines of the Bible. Most distinctive beliefs associated with Mormonism are absent from the Book of Mormon. Mormons revere both the Book of Mormon and the Bible as scripture, but words of living prophets are also scripture. But some distinctions worth noting in the Mormon scripture are a more elaborate doctrine of atonement, Jehovah as the pre‐mortal Christ, denial of original sin and of human depravity, extensive pre‐Christian and non‐Judean knowledge of Christ, a “fortunate fall.”
