Apparently, many people have lost their testimonies over the book.
Bushman was writing mainly to a scholarly audience and left out many faithful interpretations and explainations for some of the sticky facts. If he were to redo the book, he would put in many of those faithful explainations to bolster faith. It appears that he is somewhat regretful of the impact of the book. Interesting.

Hmmm... So this is third hand at this point? Color me skeptical.
