“To be a scientist is to be naive. We are so focused on our search for the truth we fail to consider how few actually want us to find it. But it is always there whether we see it or not, whether we choose to or not. The truth doesn't care about our needs or wants, it doesn't care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lie in wait for all time. And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl. Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask: What is the cost of lies?”

- Valery Legasov, HBO miniseries: “Chernobyl”

Thanks to everybody that provided feedback and comments on Episode VII which covers the period after publication of the Book of Mormon in June of 1830 through 1835. We have received some good questions regarding the structure of some of the religious texts developed during this time. The authorship attribution of the Book of Mormon is a much debated issue. But what about the rest of the Mormon scriptures? In response, we want to provide you with this overview. We hope you enjoy it, and please let us know if you have any comments, critique, or questions!

The battle over MormonLeaks ...

Many of our readers may have seen reference to “MormonLeaks” in the news recently, involving the publication of internal documents and videos of the LDS Church in Salt Lake City, UT. We want to make clear that Ryan McKnight, Scott Faust, and their “MormonLeaks team" behind this effort are in no way affiliated with us, nor do we bear any responsibility for the leaking of confidential information belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

We are an academic research team focused on reconstructing the historical narrative of how the Mormon scriptures were created. This history has been deliberately erased and altered over a period of more than 150 years, and we chose the name in 2010 because we felt 'MormonLeaks' adequately described the first-time general availability of the narrative that produced the Mormon scriptures.

Given our focus on Early Mormonism, we are generally interested in historical evidence from the 19th century and modern-day computing methods, so that we can recreate the narrative by analyzing relevant texts of that time, and then match the available evidence with the authors of passages of Mormon scripture. The recent leaks of videos and documents mostly involve modern-day business dealings of no concern to our interests.

There has been substantial confusion in the media because ‘MormonLeaks’ now describes two completely different efforts run by different teams with different objectives. We are still investigating the best possible response to this conflation of our research with the posting of private and internal documents belonging to the LDS Church. We will keep you posted and update media outlets on how we will go about this disentanglement.

Any suggestions are welcome….

Thank you for your support and readership!
