Why people recommend it
The Book of Mormon is a foundational religious text published by Joseph Smith in 1835 that details ancient prophets in the Americas and serves as the canon for the Latter Day Saint movement. Sam Harris discussed the scripture on Modern Wisdom, pointing out that its known history reveals human-made and flawed origins resembling a satirical depiction. On Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, the host shared that Anatoly Fomenko is a proponent of the text because he believes it supports his New Chronology theory. Richard Dawkins spoke about the book on The Joe Rogan Experience while analyzing the origins of Mormonism and Joseph Smith's purported translations, including the Book of Abraham. Michael Shermer also brought up the Book of Mormon on the same podcast while examining the founding affidavits of the Mormon religion. Additionally, Joe Rogan critically discussed the text on The Joe Rogan Experience, remarking on the unusual origin stories and historical claims written by Smith during his youth.
