Studies of the Book of Mormon
Roberts "served in the innermost circles of Mormonism" and for decades "used his great oratorical and writing skills , as well as his scholarly and research abilities , to defend the Book of Mormon and give it intellectual respectability . " According to Brigham Young University professor Marvin S . Hill , controversy over the book "has focused not upon the historical issues which Roberts raised but rather on whether or not he lost his testimony of the book and the church . "
