Abstract

John L. Hilton describes the young science of wordprinting, which is used to prove or disprove authorship, presenting its history, purposes, and development. Hilton examines wordprint studies of translations. They show that it is statistically indefensible to propose a single author of the manuscript of the Book of Mormon.
