What do we know about the redaction process of what we're reading? Was there an original account that Mormon read and he's summarizing it (through Joseph Smith's translation of course)? If so, who wrote the original account? Did Alma write on the plates? Scribes? Sorry for my ignorance on this.... --RobertC 13:16, 27 Jan 2007 (UTC)

I think your ignorance on this is representative, Robert. I've never seen any good work done one what belongs to Mormon and what doesn't anywhere in the Book of Mormon. There is a lot yet to get done in Mormon studies. --Joe Spencer 16:47, 27 Jan 2007 (UTC)
