{"product_id":"an-introduction-to-the-book-of-abraham-9781944394066","title":"An Introduction to the Book of Abraham","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the Book of Abraham was first published to the world in 1842  it was published as a translation of some ancient records that have fallen into Joseph Smith s hands from the catacombs of Egypt  purporting to be the writings of Abraham while he was in Egypt  called The Book of Abraham  Written by his Own Hand  upon Papyrus. The resultant record was thus connected with the papyri once owned by Joseph Smith  though which papyrus of the four or five in his possession was never specified. Those papyri would likely interest only a few specialists except that they are bound up in a religious controversy. This controversy covers a number of interrelated issues  and an even greater number of theories have been put forward about these issues. Given the amount of information available  the various theories  and the variety of fields of study the subject requires  misunderstandings and misinformation often prevail. Introduction to the Book of Abraham makes reliable information accessible to the general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665883455541,"sku":"ByrdShop_1944394060","price":54.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781944394066.jpg?v=1782412472","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-the-book-of-abraham-9781944394066","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
