In Parts 1 and 2 of this series Mike, John, and @NemotheMormon explored the history and controversies over whether the Book of Abraham is a literal translation of Egyptian as claimed by Joseph Smith.

Does the Book of Abraham merit being considered “revelation” and therefore binding to believing Saints today?
