We Measured Revelation — What the Data Found in D&C Section 132 [about Joseph Smith] E0046
Section 132 of the Doctrine and Covenants is one of the most talked about and debated revelations in scripture. Some people say it just doesn’t sound like Joseph Smith, which has left a lot of questions about who actually wrote it.
Dr. Paul Fields, an expert in stylometry — the statistical study of writing style — joins Stephen Jones to take the emotion out of the debate and look at the evidence. Using data, history, and faith, he puts this revelation to the test to find out who really wrote Section 132.
What he discovered might not just answer a question about authorship. It might change the way we think about revelation itself.
