2026-01-18 Invitation: Rebuttal: Chiasmus Is Not Evidence of Ancient Hebrew Authorship Gary Harris Request
Chris Johnson's presentation, "How the Book of Mormon Destroyed Mormonism," ⌂ (24min:30sec)

Scholars affiliated with the BYU Religious Studies Center, notably Noel B. Reynolds and John W. Welch, argue that the presence of chiasmus in the Book of Mormon indicates ancient Hebrew literary origins and therefore supports divine translation rather than 19th-century authorship.
This argument fails on methodological, historical, textual, and ethical grounds.
