unaided. Rather, he is reported to have dictated the revelations to one of his scribes.
From 1829 to 1838, two of Smiths main scribes were none other than Sidney Rigdon
and Oliver Cowdery, who according to the Spalding-Rigdon theory, participated in
writing the Book of Mormon. In fact, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the
Mormon Church) acknowledges that many sections of the Doctrine and Covenants were
revealed jointly to Smith and Rigdon or to Smith and Cowdery.20 The voice signals of
one of these men or a mix of their signals could be the "prophetic voice" Holmes
ascribes to Smith. That Holmes would find similarities between the "prophetic" voice of
the Doctrine and Covenants and the Book of Mormon, therefore, is at best evidence of
common authorship for the two texts but in no way demonstrates that Smith's "voice"
(divinely inspired or otherwise) is anywhere to be found."
Since the 2008 study, Matt Jockers has done some additional work to identify
documents that were likely written by Smith.
