Thirty years of original research bring to light the astonishing journey of the Book of Abraham papyri—from the catacombs of Thebes, through the excavations of Italian adventurer Antonio Lebolo, across the Atlantic with showman Michael Chandler, into the hands of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and finally to their surprising rediscovery in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1967. Rich with photos, maps, and documents, this definitive work fills historical gaps and answers long-standing questions about one of Latter-day Saint scripture's most intriguing books.
- A true detective story: three decades tracing sacred papyri from a Theban tomb to a New York museum
- The dramatic 1967 rediscovery everyone thought had burned in the Chicago fire
- Original research in Italian archives that unraveled the real story of Antonio Lebolo
- Faith meets scholarship: documented answers to the toughest questions about the Book of Abraham
“How exciting it is to learn, to be challenged, to grasp a new concept, or to painfully release an old favorite!”
Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint fascinated by scripture history who wants a documented, faith-affirming account of where the Book of Abraham papyri came from and where they went.
