Description

"In Provo, Utah, there exists the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (FARMS). Renowned as a Mormon think-tank, FARMS is owned and operated by Brigham Young University (BYU) and the Mormon Church. Their mission seeks to repudiate the opposition (their perceived enemies inside and outside of their church), applaud its supporters, and justify many peculiar Mormon doctrines.

"Employees of BYU and FARMS are held to a higher standard than others. Policies of BYU's include the strict Church Education System Honor Code. This book demonstrates that FARMS often twists the truths to justify Mormon doctrines. To justify their position they often will utilize inane accusations, misquotes and equivocation. This collection of deceit from Mormon scholarship is what Matt Paulson has identified as the "breaking of the Mormon Code." (From back cover.)
