"Golden Plates" by Lincoln Cannon

Available now is my computed comparison of the Book of Jacob to the Bible. It consists of 11 pages of side-by-side text comparisons. This is part of the second edition of As One that Hath a Familiar Spirit. Here are some highlights from and observations about this comparison of the Book of Jacob to the Bible:

  1. Jacob 1: 7 repeats language from Hebrews 3: 8, which repeats language from Psalm 95: 8
  2. Jacob 5: 42, 46 and 66 repeatedly associate the parable of the vineyard with Jesus’ words in the synoptic gospels
  3. Jacob 6: 6 repeats language from Hebrews 3: 7-8, which repeats language from Psalm 95: 7-8
  4. Jacob 6: 7 associates the interpretation of the parable of the vineyard with Jesus’ words in the synoptic gospels
  5. Jacob 6: 11 uses “enter in at the strait gate” like Jesus in the synoptic gospels
  6. Jacob 7: 14 expresses Jacob’s words like Luke 22: 42 expresses Jesus’ words

Editions of Computed Comparisons of the Book of Mormon to the Bible

I have published multiple editions of my work comparing the text of the Book of Mormon to that of the Bible. The first edition was computer-assisted and published by Brigham Young University in 1998. The second edition was computer-generated in 2006. It ultimately served as the basis for the Discerner project in 2015.

Below is a list of articles and websites that provide more information about and access to each of the editions, as well as related comparisons:
