| ==Criticism==
| |
| Critics claim some Book of Mormon names are used improperly or in an inappropriate context.
| |
| Examples include:
| |
| *using "Alma" as a man's name, rather than a woman's name
| |
| | |
| ===Source(s) of the Criticism===
| |
| *"That Man Alma," ''Utah Evangel'' 33:3 (April 1986): 2.
| |
| *Walter Martin, ''The Maze of Mormonism'' (Santa Ana, California: Vision House, 1978), 327.
| |
| *Robert McKay, "A Mormon Name," ''Utah Evangel'' 31:8 (August 1984): 4.
| |
| *John L. Smith, editorial comment on Robert McKay, "A Mormon Name," ''Utah Evangel'' 31:8 (August 1984): 4.
| |
| | |
| ==Response==
| |
| ===Alma===
| |
| Despite claims into the 1980s by anti-Mormon critics, the name "Alma" has been known since the 1960s as a male Hebrew name. It occurs in contexts from 2200 B.C. to the second century B.C.{{ref|roper1}}
