Part of Signature Books' Essays on Mormonism series, American Apocrypha combines the insights of nine different authors in a comprehensive study of the Book of Mormon, its role in history, and the way religious communities use sacred texts to create meaning and culture. Published in 1830, the Book of Mormon acts as a modern-day example of apocrypha-literature with deep religious meaning that are excluded from the biblical cannon and often dismissed as heretical. As such, each essay examines the various lenses Mormons use to view and appreciate the Book of Mormon, despite allegations of historical and scientific inaccuracies.
