Question: How similar are the descriptions of the Late War and Book of Mormon of Christopher Columbus?
Critics’ Comparison
The Book of Mormon claims that the man was divinely inspired whereas the Late War only mentions that he was intelligent
The Book of Mormon claims that Columbus was inspired but the Late War only notes that he was intelligent.
There are other possibilities for the man mentioned in 1 Nephi 13:12
