A new witness for Christ in America
Book • 1942
Francis W. Kirkham's 'A New Witness for Christ in America' is an early apologetic study seeking to defend the Book of Mormon's authenticity and divine origins.
Kirkham examined evidences and arguments intended to bolster faith in the text for believers and inquirers, addressing alleged discrepancies and presenting supporting contexts.
His work engaged with historical and textual questions of the day and aimed to persuade skeptics of the Book of Mormon's legitimacy.
While influential among some Latter-day Saint defenders, later critics found his treatments insufficient for certain anachronisms and textual problems.
The book is often referenced in mid-20th-century debates about Mormon origins and apologetics.
