The Word of God is a collection of insightful and thought-provoking discussions of Mormon canon. The authors ask to what extent scripture can be considered historical, revelatory, and authoritative. The essays cover a range of topics, including literalism (William Russell), early America views of the Old Testament (Susan Curtis), the Christianizing of the Old Testament (Melodie Moench Charles), propositional revelation (Richard Howard), cognitive dissonance regarding the Book of Abraham (Edward Ashment), the early Word of Wisdom (Lester Bush), the possibility and uses of foreknowledge (Anthony Hutchinson), and scriptural cosmology (Dan Vogel).

Dan Vogel has authored and edited such critically-acclaimed books as Early Mormon Documents, Indian Origins and the Book of Mormon, and Religious Seekers and the Advent of Mormonism. He is a contributing author in Line Upon Line: Essays on Mormon Doctrine and The Prophet Puzzle: Interpretive Essays on Joseph Smith. He and his wife live in Westerville, Ohio.
