Announcing A Major Sourcebook to Investigate Book of Mormon Authenticity and Authorship by Arthur Chris Eccel titled Mormon Genesis. Cost at Amazon.com is $28.00.
Mormon Genesis is the most comprehensive totally secular study of the creation and maintenance of the Mormon scriptural community. The book goes well beyond the issue of Book of Mormon authenticity. New techniques are developed to explore the issue of how the texts deemed sacred were written, and by whom. Then it moves on to the social and power dimensions of theology and ritual.
