"'Secret Combinations' Revisited" by Daniel C. Peterson




Rare Possessions: From The Archives of Book of Mormon Central show

Summary: "'Secret Combinations' Revisited" by Daniel C. Peterson is a short article that appeared in the first issue of the Journal of Book of Mormon Studies.

Dr. Peterson spends some effort to show how such an assertion has little basis in context.
