Since the brass plates of Laban were in existence prior to 600 B.C., the Book of Mormon Isaiah is the most ancient scriptural record of Isaiah's writings in existence. It is taken in this work as the standard from which the biblical accounts are evaluated.

In this work the author makes a meticulous word-by-word comparison of the 404 verses in the 20 Isaiah chapters, identifying each instance where the wording is not identical. The comparison clearly demonstrates that the Book of Mormon Isaiah is, as it claims to be, a copy of an ancient manuscript which predates all the other manuscript versions of Isaiah. This comparison provides convincing evidence that the Book of Mormon is a true historical document and that the Prophet Joseph Smith was inspired in its translation.

The differences between the Book of Mormon and King James versions are compared with English translations of the Greek Septuagint, the Latin Vulgate and the Hebrew Masoretic texts. The author has found that 115 of the 348 differences between the Book of Mormon and Bible texts actually alter the meaning of the passages. These differences, far from being random variations resulting from inadvertent scribal errors, clearly indicate that the King James and other Bible versions contain intentional deviations from the original meaning - deviations designed to justify Israel in its apostate beliefs and practices. A number of chiasma common to the two accounts give clear evidence of Book of Mormon supremacy, as they are found degraded in the King James version.

It is further conclusively shown that the Book of Isaiah was an intact writing prior to 600 B.C., which forcefully negates the claims of the higher critics that the Book of Isaiah was a compilation of multiple authors in post Isaianic times.

This book is a powerful aid to the understanding of the Isaiah message and should be a welcome addition to the libraries of both the serious student and the casual reader.
