{"product_id":"an-insiders-view-of-mormon-grant-h-palmer-9781560851578","title":"An Insider's View of Mormon Origins","description":"Over the past thirty years, an enormous amount of research has been conducted into Mormon origins--Joseph Smith's early life, the Book of Mormon, the prophet's visions, and the restoration of priesthood authority. Longtime LDS educator Grant H. Palmer suggests that most Latter-day Saints remain unaware of the significance of these discoveries, and he gives a brief survey for anyone who has ever wanted to know more about these issues.\u003cbr\u003eHe finds that much of what we take for granted as literal history has been tailored over the years--slightly modified, added to, one aspect emphasized over another--to the point that the original narratives have been nearly lost. What was experienced as a spiritual or metaphysical event, something from a different dimension, often has been refashioned as if it were a physical, objective occurrence. This is not how the first Saints interpreted these events. Historians who have looked closer at the foundational stories and source documents have restored elements, including a nineteenth-century world view, that have been misunderstood, if not forgotten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grant Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1560851570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560851578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signature Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Grant Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046564425983,"sku":"9781560851578","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_35ede206-8598-40bc-bb86-e817166cab21.jpg?v=1684985268","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-insiders-view-of-mormon-grant-h-palmer-9781560851578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
