Question: Was the Book of Mormon phrase "and it came to pass" derived from Gilbert Hunt's The Late War?
Critics' comparison: The phrase "it came to pass" is more common in the Bible than in The Late War [1]
Chris Johnson, Duane Johnson, ""A Comparison of The Book of Mormon and The Late War Between the United States and Great Britain," http://wordtreefoundation.github.io/thelatewar/
Gilbert Hunt's The Late War was deliberately written in the "biblical style," and therefore uses the phrase "it came to pass" frequently. There really isn't any reason to believe that Joseph, if he were actually the author of the Book of Mormon, would have been more likely to have picked up the phrase from The Late War than from the Bible itself.
