Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Mormon and Its Translator: Archæological and Historical Evidences If then, after there was sufficient to make wise unto salvation, the New Testament came forth, and exists by right, why not other writings in the same line exist by right, upon their merit? If such reasoning could not defeat the New Testament, neither can it overthrow the claim of the Book of Mormon. While the Bible was sufficient for the continent and its inhabitants where it originated, could it be sufficient for the ancient peoples of the western continent where it never was, ´til since the day of Columbus? Myriads of people, through ages, had been upon this continent as the wonderful ruins, the evidence of their well developed civilized life, show, and the finding of their bones attest. They did not have the Bible. It came to this continent with Columbus, or at a later time. If even the Bible might be sufficient for this continent and its people since the days of Columbus, how could it have been for those who were dead and gone before it was brought to this continent by Columbus, or still more recently. Is not all Christendom exerting much energy to get the Bible to all heathen people because all mankind shall be judged by Bible truth? Since it is an admitted fact that the Bible has been accessible to people on this continent since the days of Columbus only, why not concede the mission of the Book of Mormon, supplying, as it did, the ancient peoples before the day of Columbus. According to Bible chronology, it was about five thousand, five hundred years from creation to America´s discovery by Columbus. Must the western continent have waited all those ages without the revelation of God´s will? If the Bible is all that God gave, and if it is all that is needed, why is the ever increasing effort being made by theologian and scientist, men of renown, to find additional matter to that of the Bible? Whether the search is rewarded by finding manuscript, tablet, or inscription on monument or elsewhere, is it not a confession that other writing or record than that contained in the Bible, has the right of existence and consideration? The diligent searchers in this line have not been scrupulously particular as to whether Chaldean plain, Arabian waste, Egypt´s repository, or that of Rome, should yield their keeping and furnish a supply. The discoveries, too, have been many, as we shall see. Papers and periodicals of May, 1897, credited Prof. Paul Haupt with having deciphered Assyrian tablets in the British Museum 4,400 years old.
