Since its original publication in 1830, the Book of Mormon has elicited intense curiosity and interest. Thousands of published articles and books have been written about the book's origins and its contents. Many of the book's responses have been passionate, both in praise and criticism.

The primary goal of the Annotated Bibliography of the Book of Mormon is to produce a comprehensive, annotated, bibliographic listing of published items on the book.

As with any bibliography, this work was created to assist scholars and students with their research. It was designed to facilitate research by placing in the hands of researchers a comprehensive listing of published items on the Book of Mormon, listed both by author as well as by subject. It may also halt the duplication of research.
