The following comment from the Tanners is absent in the 1987 printing of Mormonism: Shadow or Reality:
. . . there is no actual
statement written by the witnesses to the Book of Mormon in which they deny
their testimony. (Jerald Tanner and Sandra Tanner, Mormonism: Shadow or
Reality? [2d ed.; Salt Lake City: Modern Microfilm Co., 1964], 25)
