Summary of "The Key to the Keystone: How Apocryphal Texts Unlock The Book of Mormon's Brass Plates"

Over 2,000 years ago, a band of desert travelers huddled against the sandy blasts of the Arabian peninsula. They clutched in their arms a metallic book and absconded away to preserve it against the impending doom of the Babylonian invasion. This treasured text would become the source material for the Book of Mormon, one of the most influential books in American history. Though critics have tried (and spectacularly failed) to explain its origins, the Book of Mormon owes everything to this mysterious stolen text.

Yet that ancient brass book wasn't the only treasure to emerge from the sands of the Near East. Years after the publication of the Book of Mormon in 1830, a cascade of newly discovered apocryphal texts would appear like voices from the dust. Using these miraculous new sources, independent researcher Jonah Barnes has used paleography and philology to reconstruct the content of Lehi's brass plates. His research will answer questions such as:

• Which books were on the brass plates stolen by Lehi in 597 BC? Can we read them?
• Who corrupted the Old Testament canon? And how badly?
• Who was Lucifer, and why does the Bible say so little about him?
• Who was Eve, and why are the Christian creeds so hard on women?
• Who was the prophet Abinadi? Where did he come from?
• How did the prophet Isaiah die? Who killed him and why?
• Who murdered the prophet Jeremiah? And what for?
• Why does the Book of Mormon sound too Messianic and not more Mosaic?
• Do the apocrypha support the authority of the Bible? Or do they support the Book of Mormon?
• Do anti-Mormons think Joseph Smith was a time-traveler? Do they think Elvis is still alive?

Filled with unique parallels and scriptural insights with recently discovered apocryphal works, the The Key to the Keystone will unlock the Book of Mormon and change your view of the mission of Jesus Christ. And it might make you chuckle along the way.
