Joseph Smith and the Origins of the Book of Mormon[1] is a book written by David Persuitte. The work was first published in 1985, with a second expanded edition in 2000. It provides detailed biographical information about Joseph Smith and background information about the origin of the Book of Mormon. In the book, Persuitte provides a large number of parallels in support of the idea that Joseph Smith used an earlier work, View of the Hebrews, as a source of ideas in creating the Book of Mormon.[2]
One FARMS reviewer, L. Ara Norwood, dubbed Persuitte's book anti-Mormon.[3]
