The question 'How Much Could Joseph Smith Have Known About Chiasmus in 1829?' is surely irrelevant - except for the detractors of the Prophet! First of all, it distracts from his achievements; secondly the Prophet was a translator, and never analyzed the texts; and thirdly, he did it all on just three years of primary school education. There are some highly educated people to day that still do not understand what Chiasmus is. How irksome it must be for some people to be proved so wrong! John
