Kravitz & Sons has announced the release of the Spanish-language edition of Evidencias Bíblicas y No Bíblicas del Libro de Mormón, a religious research work by Joseph Dean DeBarthe. The book explores biblical and historical sources related to the Book of Mormon, presenting discussions on scripture, ancient history, and documented evidence that the author believes contributes to a broader understanding of the text. The Spanish edition expands access to the work for Spanish-speaking readers, making it available through major online booksellers in print and digital formats.
The book addresses longstanding discussions surrounding the Book of Mormon and its place alongside the Bible. It examines biblical passages that reference additional sacred records, including interpretations of Ezekiel 37, while discussing historical, linguistic, and cultural elements associated with the Book of Mormon. The publication also explores the background of Joseph Smith Jr., presenting the author's perspective on questions concerning the book's origin and composition. By incorporating historical references, archaeological discussion, and examples drawn from Hebrew customs and writing traditions, the work encourages readers to consider biblical, historical, and documentary sources together when studying the Book of Mormon.
According to the publisher, the Spanish edition was produced to broaden access to the book's research and to support readers seeking Spanish-language resources on biblical history, the Book of Mormon, and related religious studies. The Spanish edition preserves the content of the original publication while making it accessible to a wider audience. The book is available through retailers such as Barnes & Noble and Amazon, among others.
Joseph Dean DeBarthe, the author, is a fourth-generation member of the Community of Christ and holds bachelor's degrees in Business Management and Computer Information Systems from Central Missouri State University. He served more than eight years in the U.S. Navy before continuing his career as a civilian employee of the U.S. military for over two decades, retiring from government service in 2008. Throughout his military and civilian career, DeBarthe lived and traveled extensively across Europe, Asia, Central America, and North America. His academic background, military experience, and long-standing interest in religious study provide the foundation for his research into biblical history and the Book of Mormon presented in this publication.
The release of the Spanish edition marks a significant step in making DeBarthe's research accessible to a broader demographic, particularly Spanish-speaking communities interested in religious studies. By providing a resource that integrates biblical and non-biblical evidences, the book aims to foster a deeper understanding of the Book of Mormon's historical and scriptural context. The publisher, Kravitz & Sons, emphasizes the importance of expanding access to such scholarly works to support diverse readers in their exploration of religious history.
