13. Authors and Redactors
14. how to define redactor and redac- redactor - A redactor is not an "author" in the sense
tion, characteristics of a redacted of writing a completely new document, nor does a
document redactor just copy earlier materials. Neither is he
or she quite like an editor, who assembles and/or
revises someone else's wor
redaction - redaction occurs when a redactor draws
from a number of ditterent earlier sources, like the
Bible and Book of Mormon, to create something
that did not previously exist—a new document.
15.
, the difference between redaction Neither is he or she quite like an editor, who as-
and editing sembles and/or revises someone else's work. So,
even though some people use redactor and editor
interchangeably, the way we use the term editor
today does not do justice to the full activities and
accomplishments of a redactor. And since we des-
ignate the new literary product as a redaction, the
title redactor is preferable to that of editor in these
circumstances.In producing something new from
older available sources, a redactor usually adds his
or her own perspective, or voice. In the redaction
of texts that have become scripture, a redactor typ-
ically evidences one or more theological purposes.
A redacted document represents the final form of a
work, but it is productive to think about the redac-
tion process that produced it and the sources that
lie behind the final form we are studying. Some
scholars specialize in studying redacted documents,
the redaction processes through which they were
produced, and how older texts were used or repur-
posed by a redactor.
16. examples of redaction and their re- 1 and 2 ChroniclesThe books of Mosiah., Alma.,
sults in the Book of Mormon (which Helaman., and 3. and 4 Nephi. did not exist until
books were given as examples of Mormon produced them through the process of
redaction) redaction

18. The 3 reasons for Mormon's "short 1) religious lessons to be learned2) explanations3)
comments" in his record fulfillment of prophetic pronouncements

derstanding the redactional process mon and others is like this second approach to
of the Book of Mormon listening to music. I find that recognizing these
redactorial ettorts is productive for me; I can better
appreciate and understand the text of the Book of
Mormon as I read. Also, I can more clearly hear
Mormon's "voice" as he emphasizes gospel truths
and highlights spiritual lessons he considered im-
portant, in addition to hearing the voices of the
other prophets and leaders he included in his nar-
ration.
