Quote mining/Jerald and Sandra Tanner


Examples of quote-mining from the Tanners include:

Doctrines of Salvation

Ensign

Journal of Discourses

Others

  • The Smoot Hearings [the Tanners here quote an attack on pp. 220-221, but ignore the response to the attack provided on the very next page.]

The Tanners' quote mining is of even greater significance than this lengthy list would suggest, since their works are often the "source" for subsequent anti-Mormon works. Thus, the Tanners' quote mines spread far and wide in the fairly in-bred world of anti-Mormonism.
