My friend Stephen Smoot has an article that was recently published by the Interpreter Foundation:
It is a reworking of a previous blog post addressing this topic, with some additional material, such as an interaction and refutation of a frankly stupid article by “Yakov ben Tov” (who is refuted in the comments section, too [I have an inkling who this fellow is, and if I am correct, needless to say I have absolutely no respect whatsoever for him is an understatement]).
Stephen's article is very important and, as with all his other contributions published by Interpreter and elsewhere, is very informative. He shows that there is no meaningful foundation to an "inspired fiction" approach to the Book of Mormon.
