"Jesus' Birthplace and the Phrase "Land of Jerusalem"," (Provo, Utah: FARMS) FARMS research article on Jesus' Birthplace and the Phrase "Land of Jerusalem" in the Book of Mormon. Stephen R.

Jeff Lindsay, The Land of Jerusalem - A fatal blunder??. Discusses the usage of "Land of Jerusalem" in relation to the Birth of Jesus as it is used in the Book of Mormon. Daniel C. Peterson, Matthew Roper and William J. Hamblin; "On Alma 7:10 and the Birthplace of Jesus Christ," (Provo, Utah: FARMS) One of the most popular anti-Mormon claims is that the Book of Mormon gives the wrong location for the birth of Jesus Christ. "The Book of Mormon teaches that Jesus Christ was born at Jerusalem (Alma 7:10)," says one representative anti-Mormon volume. "Of course, the Bible teaches He was born at Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1)." However, since Bethlehem is five or six miles from Jerusalem, and is a distinct town, the critics claim that "Alma 7:10 is clearly a false prophecy.
