Moroni's America: The North American Setting for the Book of Mormon, Second Edition, by Jonathan Neville, Digital Legend, 2024.
This book focuses on the possible lay out for a North American Book of Mormon. It provides a premise for this based on what Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdrey wrote about the location of Hill Cumorah--that the plates were compiled and hidden in this area. It shows how geographically the Book of Mormon would fit in North America, with Zarahemla across from Nauvoo, and the Hill Cumorah in New York, and the rest of the map taking off from there.
Most of the North American archeology was destroyed by farms, or cities or such, but there is still enough to make the case for many settlements in North America, during the timeline of the Book of Mormon. The major mode of transportation was by waterway, the Mississippi and Ohio, Missouri and Illinois rivers.
When he goes through the Book of Mormon chapter by chapter and tells where this could have happened based on current location of archeological finds. I was sure he was not 100 percent correct, but there are possibilities. It is exciting to see that the Book of Mormon could fit North America. Part of the error is in 90 percent of the archeology in Nofrth America is gone.
However I find his arguments very convincing.
Each section has a scan code where you can listen to the author join in a discussion about the topics from the section.
I know there are those who go with the MesoAmerican theory, with most of the narrative in the Book of Mormon taking place in southern Mexico and Central America. It is good to know that there are multiple places where the Book of Mormon could have taken place. Of course always to remember tha the book is spiritual, and through the spirit we gain a testimony, and then come unto Christ.
