The golden bible
Book • 1887
M. T.
Lamb's 'The Golden Bible' is a 19th-century critique that scrutinizes the historical and textual claims of the Book of Mormon, arguing against its divine origin.
Lamb canvassed linguistic issues, anachronisms, and theological inconsistencies he perceived in the text and presented them for readers skeptical of Mormon claims.
His work represents one of the earlier sustained non-Mormon examinations of the Book of Mormon and influenced later critics seeking historical explanations.
Though written long before modern textual scholarship, the book raised questions that have persisted in subsequent debates about the Book of Mormon's provenance.
It served as a reference for mid-20th-century readers like Sandra and Gerald Tanner as they explored critical perspectives.
