Etymology
editI would be interested in a section on the history of the word Mormon. I was presented with Fawn Brodie’s “No Man Knows My History,” page 276 in which Smith is quoted as stating the word comes from a combination of English(?) & Egyptian words that mean "more good," but so far that appears to be the only source I can find so far. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikchard (talk • contribs) 00:07, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Request for more information
editA disclaimer has been added to the article requesting secondary sources that critically analyze the Book of Mormon. Could someone please give an example of relevant critical source? While there is certainly no shortage of critical texts regarding the Book of Mormon, the Waters of Mormon hold very little importance in Latter-day Saint theology. It thus seems unlikely that any critical text will have dealt with them specifically, nor that there be much they even could say on the subject. Thoughts?

Citation by Author Who has Renounced Mormonism
editDavid Lamb has actually renounced Mormonism. It seems kind of odd to use him as a citation for something he doesn't believe in anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cma01 (talk • contribs) 07:02, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- If David Lamb was an expert in the historicity of the Book of Mormon, it hardly seems authentic to remove citations to information once believed or still believed to be true, regardless of current beliefs. --50.72.176.246 (talk) 00:01, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
