The Bearded White God of Ancient America: The Legend of Quetzalcoatl

Compilers Donald W. and W. David Hemingway gather the words of Spanish conquistadors, native chroniclers, and historians—from Cortés and Ixtlilxochitl to Veytia, Bancroft, Prescott, and Lord Kingsborough—all describing Quetzalcoatl, the mysterious bearded white god who came to ancient America, taught Christian-like doctrine, and promised to return. Framed by Book of Mormon passages and a statement from LDS President John Taylor, the book invites readers to consider that this beloved figure was the risen Savior visiting the Nephites.

• The historical case that Quetzalcoatl—the beloved bearded white god of the Aztecs—was actually the resurrected Christ of 3 Nephi.
• Reads the original conquistador and native chronicles so you can weigh the evidence yourself.
• Ties together Cortés, Bancroft, Prescott, and Kingsborough with the Book of Mormon.
• Includes an LDS President John Taylor statement and the 3 Nephi account of Christ's American ministry.

Perfect for an LDS adult fascinated by Book of Mormon evidences who wants to read the historical source accounts of the 'white bearded god' Quetzalcoatl for themselves.
