What do we learn from what Mormon says about what he did not write?

Thomas R. Valletta

“From this statement and all the other reasons given by Book of Mormon authors for not including certain things, two points can be easily drawn about the book and what the Lord intended that we get from it. One is the fact that the Book of Mormon is the Lord’s book and that a correct understanding of it comes from him alone. The other is that there is much more knowledge and truth available which we will receive only as we live in accordance with that which we already have” (Brown, “‘I Speak Somewhat,’” 63).
