The Spalding–Rigdon theory of Book of Mormon authorship is the theory that the Book of Mormon was plagiarized in part from an unpublished manuscript written by Solomon Spalding. The theory first appeared in print in the book Mormonism Unvailed [sic], published in 1834 by E. D. Howe. The theory is that a Spalding manuscript was stolen by Sidney Rigdon, who used it in collusion with Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery to produce the Book of Mormon. Although Rigdon claimed that he was converted to the Latter Day Saint movement through reading the Book of Mormon, Howe argued that this story was a later invention to cover the book's true origins.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Spalding-Rigdon-Theorie zur Urheberschaft des Buches Mormon besagt, dass die wesentlichen nichtreligiösen Aussagen im Buch Mormon als Plagiat von Solomon Spalding und anderen Autoren übernommen wurden. Die Theorie wurde erstmals 1834 von E. D. Howe schriftlich erläutert im Buch Mormonism Unvailed. Im Zentrum steht dabei Sidney Rigdon, der laut der Theorie mit Joseph Smith und Oliver Cowdery das Buch Mormon verfasste. Rigdon beteuerte, durch Lesen jenes Buches der erste bekehrte Anhänger der Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage (HLT) geworden zu sein. Howe betrachtet diese Beteuerung als nachträgliche Erfindung, um die wahren Ursprünge des Buches Mormon zu verdecken. Heutige HLT-Vertreter betrachten die Theorie als widerlegt und diskreditiert, da „wenige Historiker – ob freundlich oder feindlich gegenüber dem Anspruch der Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage – die Spalding-Rigdon-Theorie vertreten.“ (de)

While this theory was once extremely popular among critics of the Book of Mormon, most contemporary historians state that the theory has been disproved and is discredited. As such, this theory sees little popularity today among naturalistic explanations for the Book of Mormon's origins. (en)
