The greatest anti-mormon book of all time

Post by doubtingthomas »

The Spirit of Revelation (2021) by David A. Bednar

I think the average reader ends up with more questions than answers. The book is terrible, Bednar should know better.

I also thought of the Book of Abraham. Just now I was googling the holdings of the British Museum which showed facsimile 2 is a common item:

Nobody reads it.

True, the Book of Abraham is a 19th-century book.

Bednar's book is much worse, he thinks people are stupid. Someone looking for answers in Bednar's book is going to be very disappointed. The book is pretty bad even for Mormon standards.

Elder Bednar is not known for his introspective nature.
