Avi Steinberg undertakes a pilgrim's quest to the heart of "The Book of Mormon". In his droll, witty and understated style he lassos many interesting Joseph Smith tidbits, reveals fascinating connections between Hermann Melville and Smith, gamely bounces through a raucous, Chaucerian style, Mormon sponsored, quest to Mesoamerica in search of a Zarahemla siting, rehearses for, but does not act in, the Mormon Hill of Cumorah Pageant. On this journey Steinberg lays bare and deeply honors the author Smith's creative act, an activity with which Steinberg humbly identifies. As a riff on "The Book of Mormon", Steinberg acknowledges it as uniquely American literature and as a uniquely American religion. Steinberg shows us many echoes of the Hebrew Bible and its writer(s). He wisely hints that both the Book of Mormon and the Bible can sustain myriad interpretations. He suggests that both Mormon and Jewish text and practice can seem obscure and mysterious. Though Steinberg's book defies categorization, it is really a worthy read. We see before our eyes the thinking, the working and re working of quite complex religious and authorial ideas.. Steinberg would make a wonderful classroom teacher. He has the gift of gab with which he serves up a delicious dose of narrative and counter narrative. This is not a religious nor pious book. However, Steinberg's orthodox Jewish youth informs, shapes and structures his capacity to scrutinize, labor over and deliver an inside out view of another religious text.'ter's is in a category by itself
A very weird book--part introspective memoir, part effusive cynicism, part interpretation of history, literature, religion, and the place where they all come together, the Hill Cumorah. Steinberg, during a depressing period in his life, decides to go on a pilgrimage to the supposed sites where the supposed history related in the Book of Mormon supposedly occurred. Most readers will be very surprised to learn that most of those sites are in Mesoamerica, not the eastern or central United States, and that Mormon history can be and has been thoroughly conflated with Mayan history. Some of the description of his almost-picaresque journey is a tad too cutesy--how could he have chanced upon quite so many cartoonish weirdos on one trip? Why in the world, when he decided to infiltrate and actually act in a Mormon pageant (which seems very similar to the New Age one at Mount Shasta, sort of a passion play for angelophiles), would he use an alias that sounds just as Jewish as Avi Steinberg does? I recommend this book to people who like weird writing on weird topics. Like my Uncle Uzzy, who thinks Andrei Codrescu sits at the right hand of God.
A very satirical take on the Book of Mormon by a Jewish author, who decides to make the same journey Lehi and family took from Jerusalem to South America and then up to Palmyra, New York. Avi Steinberg was born in Jerusalem and returns to the city of his birth to discover the ancient Prophet Lehi. He goes to the old city where archeologists are uncovering the old city. Rather than look at old Christian and Jewish historical sites he tries to locate places mentioned in the Book or Mormon. He finds the placed some Mormons believe Nephi may have cut off Laban's head. He then travels to South America and joins a Book of Mormon tour of places that may have been historical Nephite cities. He has some deep incites on how some of Book of Mormon people lived and into why Moroni waited about 35 years after the destruction of the Nephites to hide up the plates. I found the book very enjoyable and his description of the hill Cumorah pageant as he signs up to participate in it and get assigned the part of Wicked Priest #2. It is funny, irreverent and thought provoking. If you can't laugh at your own religion every once in a while, you need to lighten up. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it.
The first half was interesting and then it got bogged down describing the Jos. Smith Farm and pageant. Should have gone to Nauvoo and Independence MO.
I thought that this might be your standard anti-Mormon book but was surprised to find a refreshing new reading of the book of Mormon. His writing style is witty and clever and I am looking forward to reading one of his other books.
What A.J. Jacobs did with the Bible, Avi Steinberg does with the Book of Mormon--he immerses himself into Mormon culture, going on a tour of Mormon sites in Central America and participating in a Mormon play near the Smith homestead. In a respectful, admiring way he displays appreciation for a book he does not believe in an LDS way, but more respect than the average non-LDS individual. He both explains his reservations with Mormonism and his appreciation for Joseph Smith. He occasionally gets both philosophical and psychological in his attempt to make sense of the book he considers a story inside of many of us. Having read his first book about his experience as a prison librarian (a great memoir), this one is very different. As a Congregational minister who has worked with and for Mormons as an Army chaplain, I found Avi's observations fascinating. I can't wait to find out what he's up to next.
I dont know why, but I couldn't get into this book. I didn't care for the author's writing style and I found it hard to follow. I only made it through 15 pages, then quit.
Between my son and myself, we had two different opinions of Avi Steinberg's "The Lost Book of Mormon." Maybe because I grew up with a few Mormons in the household (and he grew up with none), I was more sympathetic to Steinberg's case. I do feel like he wandered a little too much in his journey in making the case for The Book of Mormon as a work of literature, but it was nonetheless an enjoyable, sympathetic take on the book that is the basis for a huge religious structure.I liked it. The son didn't. So I'd recommend with that caveat. But I still gave it a 4-star because my opinion counted more.
