Basic editing flaws detract from an otherwise important compilation

Chris, UT - February 02, 2011


After some light research on the "DNA problem" that critics began assaulting the Book of Mormon with nearly ten years ago, I wanted an LDS scholarly perspective. This book, for the most part, delivers, for those (like me) without scholarly backgrounds in genetics. Content-wise, this compilation of articles regarding the plausibility of tracing the DNA trail form Lehi to modern Native Americans is outstanding. Most of the authors (mostly BYU professors in genetics, anthropology, archeology, etc.) situate the issue, I think, correctly: current science neither proves the authenticity of Book of Mormon, nor can science prove it otherwise. The glaring (and I mean glaring) problems with this book are mechanical. It seems as if the publishers/editors rushed to get the book on the shelves and failed to correct basic grammatical problems (sentences without periods, for example), which, unfortunately, undermine the scholarly nature of the content.
