Dr. Susan Easton Black, an associate professor of Church history and doctrine
at Brigham Young University had read and reread the Book of Mormon many
times. She had even taught classes on the Book of Mormon, but it was only
when she responded to the challenge to find Christ in every chapter that
she truly did find the Book of Mormon to be another testament of Jesus Christ.
In this book she examines in detail the nature of Christ and his titles and
roles and shows that references to the Savior are more frequent in the Book
of Mormon than in the New Testament. The author also presents the testimonies
of modern prophets about the Book of Mormon. The book can help you understand
more fully that the Book of Mormon was indeed written 'to the convincing of the
Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God.'
Dr. Susan Easton Black joined the faculty of Brigham Young University in 1978, where she is currently a professor of Church history and doctrine. She is also past associate dean of General Education and Honors and director of Church History in the Religious Studies Center.
The recipient of numerous academic awards, she received the Karl G. Maeser Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Award in 2000, the highest award given a professor on the BYU Provo campus. Dr. Black has authored, edited, and compiled more than 100 books and 250 articles.
