Today the Church published an excellent topical essay entitled “The Book of Mormon and DNA Studies.” The essay features multiple works published here at the Maxwell Institute. Works cited include articles from our Journal of Book of Mormon Studies, the FARMS Review, our full-length book The Book of Mormon and DNA Research, John L. Sorenson’s brand new book Mormon’s Codex, and a few Hugh Nibley works to boot! We’re proud of our contributions in this area and look forward to contributing more in the future.
