Available now is my computed comparison of the Book of Mosiah to the Bible. It consists of 60 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 Mosiah to the Bible:

  1. Mosiah 1:5 references Lamanites like Isaiah 1:9 references Sodom and Gomorrah
  2. Mosiah 3:9-10 combines descriptions of Jesus from Matthew 20:19 and Mark 10:34
  3. Mosiah 5:2 uses “to do evil, but to do good” like Jeremiah 4:22, but with the opposite application
  4. Mosiah 10:8 describes Lamanites’ attire as Matthew 3:4 describes John the Baptist’s attire
  5. Mosiah 12:21-24 matches Isaiah 52:7-10
  6. Mosiah 12:34-36, 13:12-24 closely matches Exodus 20:2-17 and less closely matches Deuteronomy 5:6-21
  7. Mosiah 14:1-12 closely matches Isaiah 53:1-12
  8. Mosiah 15:29-31 closely matches Isaiah 52:8-10
  9. Mosiah 16:8, 10 uses language from 1 Corinthians 15:53-56

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:
