Section header
[edit]Currently, the one section header is "History", which carries with it the implication that this story, is, well, history. While there may be folks who feel that the Book of Mormon is a source of accurate historical information, this is not the more common view among historians; speaking as if this is history is not neutral point of view. We don't need to find a title that requires the view that this is fiction (i.e., the standard "Fictional character biography" section which one finds on characters from literature), something that is neutral on whether the the material is historical or imaginary should be fine, in context.

- ... that in the Book of Mormon's allusion to the raising of Lazarus of Bethany in John 11, Abish plays a role parallel to that of Jesus? Source: "Abish assumes a position parallel to Jesus in John 11. She becomes the primary actor in the scene, and it [is] she who first raises someone (specifically, the queen) from apparent death" in Nicholas J. Frederick and Joseph M. Spencer, "John 11 in the Book of Mormon", Journal of the Bible and its Reception 5 (1): 98.

5x expanded by P-Makoto (talk). Self-nominated at 02:09, 19 November 2022 (UTC).
- Expanded more than five times in the last couple of days, looks neutral and is sourced. One of the sources is an MA thesis, which is not optimal per WP:SCHOLARSHIP, but it's mostly just used for quotations from others and shouldn't be a serious issue. No copyright problems as far as I can see, Earwig only shows a few quotations. All three hooks look good and are sourced in the article. QPQ done. Nice article and well done.
