BoM on trial, eh? well as member of the jury, I will agree that it has both ancient and modern elements.
It’s more a modern than ancient. It’s more religious and mythical than factual and historical.
What are the charges against the book of Mormon? That it is a fraud? In my opinion its no more of a fraud than the bible itself.
When I was a TBM, I used to believe the Book of Mormon was just as true as the Bible.
Now that I am no longer a TBM, I find that I still believe the same thing!
Only now it has a different meaning.
I actually got a text message from an ex-Mormon this morning saying he had listened to this podcast and, surprisingly, that he felt there was enough evidence to go either way on the Book of Mormon.
I texted back that I guess that must mean I did a good job.
But for me, it isn’t so much an either/or proposition as it is both/and.
Thanks for listening!
