37,000 Copies Sold and Now a New Enlarged Edition

A decade has passed since we published the 1972 edition of Mormonism—Shadow or Reality? Since that time a number of important discoveries have been made which strengthen our original thesis regarding the origin of Mormonism. There have also been some significant developments in the Church. For instance, on June 9, 1978, the Deseret News announced that the President of the Mormon Church received a revelation that the curse had been removed from the blacks and that they could now hold the priesthood.

Because of the new discoveries and developments, we felt that it was time for a new edition of Mormonism—Shadow or Reality? We are now happy to announce that the work has been completed and that the new enlarged and revised 1982 edition of Mormonism—Shadow or Reality? is available from Modern Microfilm Company. Although we had presented an extremely strong case against Mormonism in the earlier edition, the new material which we included in the 1982 edition makes the case even more devastating.
