Oxford Press Annotated Book of Mormon
I'd like to call attention to a forthcoming publication from Oxford Press's academic Bible division, the Annotated Book of Mormon. The author is a recognized scholar of both Mormon texts and Chinese history. See here for details.
Given Logos' relationship with Oxford, this would be an easy and fantastic addition to Logos and a modern Mormonism collection (as I've posted here.)
I know the author, and he posted some preview images before Amazon gets up "See Inside."

Wow, what an interesting resource. I'd be keen to see it on logos, if only because the Book of Mormon isn't currently available on Logos in any format. If you put it up on feedbear I'll vote for it.
Has this resource been commissioned by the LDS church or is being produced independent of them? Also, number one best seller in Religious History on Amazon already? How does that work?!

It's independent, using the public domain 1920 text rather than the current copy-righted text, for example. As for #1 in Religious history, I imagine lots of preorders.

Thanks for posting, I've voted!
Ahhh I was wondering how it would get around the copyright issue. I'm now interested to see if/how it engages with the textual variants that exist between the 1920 edition and the current versions (or older versions).Ben said:It's independent, using the public domain 1920 text rather than the current copy-righted text, for example.

And thanks DMB, I didn't see the TOC on my first look!

Yes, that would be a wonderful volume to have in Logos.

Bumping. I have this in print, and it's lovely. The footnotes have a good number of biblical cross references and citations, so it would certainly benefit from the Logos treatment. Also, a number of good essays, including one on reading it as literature, one on reading it as Fiction, one on reading it as World Scripture, etc.
Hardy has experience with this, as his expertise in Chinese literature and religion, and his courses in World Religious Literature led to him being asked to do the Great Courses/Learning Company series on World Scripture. https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/sacred-texts-of-the-world and Great Minds of the Eastern Intellectual Tradition. https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/great-minds-of-the-eastern-intellectual-tradition
