What if we’ve been asking the wrong question about the Book of Abraham?
LDS historian, Don Bradley, explains how for years, many of us have measured it by Egyptology, scroll fragments, and academic debates. But what if that framework misses the point entirely?
Prophets in the Bible weren’t validated by their language skills. They were measured by whether they spoke truth from God.
The Book of Abraham brings illumination. It deepens the meaning of sacrifice. It points to Christ. It invites us to seek God proactively. And when people apply its teachings, their lives change.
Christ said, “By their fruits ye shall know them.”
So maybe the better question isn’t “Where did it come from?”
Maybe it’s “What does it produce?”
