Smith's \"translation projects,\" the Book of Mormon, Book of Moses, the Inspired Bible and Book of Abraham, include prophecies, visions and allusions to the ancient biblical prophet Enoch. Before Joseph Smith began writing his visions of Enoch, Oxford professor Richard Laurence revived interest in the prophet through his 1821 English translation of the ancient text, the Book of Enoch, known as \u003ci\u003e1 Enoch\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For decades, some historians have denied that Joseph Smith ever had access to the Book of Enoch, but many reserve the possibility that it directly influenced Smith's works. The author of this book documents the many similarities between the Book of Enoch and Smith's Mormon texts. Using source analysis and historical context, the author identifies the uniquely Mormon words, storylines, imagery and concepts that appear in Richard Laurence's translation of the ancient religious text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Lines\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476690154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476690155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mark Lines","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073698885887,"sku":"9781476690155","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf4c5c16-d9a8-4c73-8f88-0d61ea0b0e0c.jpg?v=1685449373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joseph-smith-and-the-book-mark-lines-9781476690155","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
