Editing Out the “Bad Grammar” in the Book of Mormon

You are here

Book of Mormon Central is in the process of migrating to our new Scripture Central website.

We ask for your patience during this transition. Over the coming weeks, all pages of bookofmormoncentral.org will be redirected to their corresponding page on scripturecentral.org, resulting in minimal disruption.

On 6 April 2016, at BYU in Provo, Utah, Royal Skousen and Stanford Carmack presented a lecture on “Editing Out the ‘Bad Grammar’ in the Book of Mormon.” The Book of Mormon critical text project is a multi-volume work. One major highlight in the history of the project was the publication in 2009 by Yale University Press of the definitive, scholarly text, The Book of Mormon: The Earliest Text. The official project itself, published by the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies in cooperation with Brigham Young University Studies, contains five volumes:

volume 1 (2001), volume 2 (2001), volume 3 (2016-2018), volume 4 (2004-2009) and volume 5 (2019)

Volumes 1, 2, and 4 have already been published. We are now in the process, over the next three years, of publishing the six parts of volume 3. The corresponding six books of volume 3 are being published in pairs:
