Broadhurst gathered this information for his thesis. It deals with the claim that Solomon Spaulding (1761-1816), a former Congregationalist/Presbyterian minister, wrote a manuscript that Joseph Smith later used as the basis for the Book of Mormon. Broadhurst obtained his master's degree from the Methodist Theological School in Delaware, Ohio, in 1982.
