Criticism
Sectarian critics who accept the Bible, but not the Book of Mormon, sometimes claim that the Bible has been "proven" or "confirmed" by archeology.
'Note:'Many of the topics sometimes addressed in archeologic critiques of the Book of Mormon are treated in detail on the Book of Mormon "anachronism" page.
Source(s) of the criticism
- Joel P. Kramer and Scott R. Johnson, The Bible vs. the Book of Mormon (Brigham City, UT: Living Hope Ministries, 2005). [This is an anti-Mormon video presentation.]
