Translating the Book of Abraham Travis Wayne Goodsell

An introductory overview of the different types of translation Joseph Smith made with the Book of Abraham papyri. The book provides a look into the translation of the facsimiles and how they correspond to the text of the Book of Abraham as well as a discussion of the differences in the text from the Biblical account. There is much argument over Joseph Smith's translations putting in jeopardy the validity of the Book of Mormon; but Travis shows Joseph's manner of translation is a tactic employed by ancient scribes, confirming he is a legitimate translator.
