“This documentary must be seen by all those who are interested in the origins of the Book of Abraham.  In an artful and educational manner, it sets forth in clarity the basic evidence that establishes Joseph Smith – not the biblical Abraham – as the author.”

David P. Wright, Ph.D.

“The Lost book of Abraham documentary not only gets the facts right with regard to this story, but tells this fascinating tale in an utterly captivating and professional way.  The producers also obviously took tremendous care in writing the script so as not to unduly offend the LDS people.  I just cannot recommend this documentary more highly.”
