Description
The unique authority of the Three Witnesses is evident in their collective testimony of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. But what led Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris away from the Church yet never away from their testimonies of the Book of Mormon? In Undeniable: The Three Witnesses of the Book of Mormon, renowned gospel scholar Susan Easton Black delves into the events that set each of these men on his own course of faith.
Riveting biographical sketches offer context and clarity to the lives of the Three Witnesses—not only their history of doctrinal concerns and secular strife but also their incomparable contributions and faithful service. By taking a broad view of each complex man individually, readers will come to recognize these early leaders’ inherent humanity as they struggled through trials not so very different from our own.
