Scholarship on the Book of Abraham

Apologetic Work

Hauglid has written extensively on the Book of Abraham, a text which Latter-day Saints consider to be scripture. This includes his 2010 A Textual History of the Book of Abraham: Manuscripts and Editions, and with egyptologist John Gee he co-edited the five-volume Studies in the Book of Abraham. Some of Hauglid's work is cited in the Church's Gospel Topics essay on the Translation and Historicity of the Book of Abraham. Both Hauglid and other writers have described his work from this period of his career as apologetic in nature.

Distancing from Apologetics

In a 2018 Facebook post, Hauglid publicly stated that after a "transformative journey" he had revised some of the views he expressed in A Textual History and "was no longer interested" in apologetics. Hauglid explained he did not believe the Book of Abraham came from a missing section of the Joseph Smith papyri, a theory advanced in his earlier works, and he added that his current views aligned with and were "much more open to" those expressed in a YouTube video by historian Dan Vogel (Vogel had referred and responded to Hauglid's A Textual History in the video).

Hauglid stated that his "recent and forthcoming publications" demonstrated his "changed... mind" and new conclusions about the Book of Abraham. Publications reflecting Hauglid's more recent thoughts on the Book of Abraham include the following: Book of Abraham and Related Manuscripts, The Pearl of Greatest Price: Mormonism's Most Controversial Scripture, and Producing Ancient Scripture: Joseph Smith’s Translation Projects in the Development of Mormon Christianity.
