  abstract: In "Understanding the Book of Mormon," Hardy offers the first comprehensive analysis of the work's narrative structure in its 180 year history. He identifies the book's literary techniques, such as characterization, embedded documents, allusions, and parallel narratives, and shows how the narrators--Nephi, Mormon, and Moroni--each has a distinctive voice woven into an integral whole.
