Resources on the Spaulding Theory of Book of Mormon Origins










Matthew Roper, “The Mythical "Manuscript Found" (review of Wayne L. Cowdery, Howard A. Davis, and Arthur Vanick, Who Really Wrote the Book of Mormon? The Spalding Enigma)


Matthew Roper, Paul J. Fields, and G. Bruce Schaalje, Stylometric Analyses of the Book of Mormon: A Short History


It should also be noted that one can refute the various theories and “spins” on the Spalding theory using just non-LDS and anti-LDS sources. For instance:

John Hamer, "The Spaulding Fable" (a spoof-piece that also highlights the inanity of the "missing mauscript" theory)


Dan Vogel Discusses the Spalding/Rigdon Theory (here, Dan Vogel systematically destroys the purported evidences for the different "spins" on this theory)
