""Seven Claims of the Book of Mormon: A Collection of Evidences"" is a book written by John A. Widtsoe. The book explores seven key claims made in the Book of Mormon and provides evidence to support these claims. The seven claims are: the existence of ancient American civilizations, the visitation of Jesus Christ to the Americas, the translation of the Book of Mormon by Joseph Smith, the divine origin of the Book of Mormon, the authenticity of the witnesses who testified of the Book of Mormon, the religious teachings contained in the Book of Mormon, and the impact of the Book of Mormon on individuals and society. Widtsoe presents historical, archaeological, and linguistic evidence to support each of these claims. The book is intended to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the Book of Mormon and its significance in the Mormon faith.1937.
