    It's fiction all the way. Literature? I'm not so sure.

    The BOM can definitely be viewed as mythological literature.

    It was reading the Book of Mormon that confirmed my testimony and led to my re-baptism after twenty-five years of excommunication. During my years of straying I continued to love Scripture as Literature, which increased when I was tinkering with the idea of converting to Judaism and began to study Torah, Talmud, Rashi, &c. Literature is my first love, and thus I cannot but approach Scripture as poetry, song, fable, myth, &c. As a believing Latter-day Saint, I can reinforce a personal testimony of them through study and prayer; yet they never lose their luster as fascinating writing, and to read them or listen to them on audio implements enriches life.
