The Book of Abraham: April 2010

Welcome to The Book of Abraham Blog!

The Book of Abraham is a true book of scripture restored by the Prophet Joseph Smith. The purpose of this blog is to provide a library of direct and indirect materials on the Book of Abraham and to discuss relevant topics relating to this book of scripture, such as history, doctrine, and apologetics.

"I want to say to you, read the book, the Pearl of Great Price, and read the Book of Abraham. The Pearl of Great Price I hold to be one of the most intelligent, one of the most religious books that the world has ever had; but more than that, to me the Pearl of Great Price is true in its name. It contains an ideal of life that is higher and grander and more glorious than I think is found in the pages of any other book unless it be the Holy Bible. It behooves us to read these things, understand them: and I thank God when they are attacked, because it brings to me, after a study and thought, back to the fact that what God has given He has given, and He has nothing to retract." - Levi Edgar Young (Conference Report, April 1913), 74
