Isaiah in the Book of Mormon ...and Joseph Smith in Isaiah by David P. Wright
"Closer study shows, however, that, despite the intent of the story, the BM [Book of Mormon] Isaiah is a revision of KJV and not a translation of an ancient document. This paper seeks to review and enlarge upon the evidence for this conclusion." (Introduction)
