The Arabian Bountiful Discovered?
by Warren P. Aston, an article related to chapter one of In the Footsteps of Lehi. This confirmed ancient location and place name matches the Book of Mormon text remarkably well. The burden is on the critics to explain how Joseph Smith could possibly have fabricated the account about Nahom and the journey in the Arabian peninsula described in First Nephi. Forget your gripes about the word “adieu” or your offense at the use of King James language. Here’s a specific place and a confirmed place name that adds irresistible credibility to First Nephi. Critics, the ball is in your court and – oops! You missed. Another ace for Joseph Smith. Kerry A. Shirts’ “Mormonism Researched” Pages – back at last! One of my favorite LDS writers is back online, featuring loads of great research on the LDS scriptures and related topics.
