Rob Bowman Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I have been trying for over a year to obtain a copy of the following publication: Sorenson, John L. “Metals and Metallurgy Relating to the Book of Mormon.” F.A.R.M.S. paper, 1992. If anyone would be willing and able to provide me with a copy of this paper, I would appreciate it.

If anyone would be willing and able to provide me with a copy of this paper, I would appreciate it. No need, Brant Gardner confirmed that metallurgy remains an interesting problem.However, many other interesting problems have been solved and possibly solved.

It's available on the Maxwell Institute website: http://publications.maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/publications/PreliminaryReports/Set%205/Paper/Sorenson%20-%20Metals%20and%20Metallurgy%20Relating%20to%20the%20Book%20of%20Mormon%20Text.pdf
Rob Bowman Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Thank you! They must have added it there sometime in the last year, or maybe I had trouble finding it when they reorganized their website.
Nevo Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Thank you! They must have added it there sometime in the last year, or maybe I had trouble finding it when they reorganized their website. I think you're right. I didn't know any of the old "Preliminary Reports" were online until I looked for the Sorenson paper.
Robert F. Smith Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Thank you! They must have added it there sometime in the last year, or maybe I had trouble finding it when they reorganized their website.Hi Rob!Yes, the Maxwell Institute has been adding old materials to their refurbished site. As to this one, it includes my “Comments on Hebrew Usage of Metal-related Terms,” pp. 81-83.Bob
mfbukowski Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Hi Rob. Good to see you back.Hmmm, not so much. Someone else who thinks history proves, or in this case, disproves, spiritual matters. Sigh.

Kenngo1969 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 No need, Brant Gardner confirmed that metallurgy remains an interesting problem.However, many other interesting problems have been solved and possibly solved. Where is Brant, anyway?
Mike Reed Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Sorensen forgot to list the engraved sets of Brass Plates that James Strang found. Edited October 2, 2014 by Mike Reed
Popular Post cursor Posted October 3, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 3, 2014 I suspect that John L. Sorenson didn't forget anything at all. 5
Darren10 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Sorensen forgot to list the engraved sets of Brass Plates that James Strang found.That's in his upcoming book " Bull Crap Nobody Should care About". 1
Mike Reed Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Purpoetedly ancient metallic records discovered in 19th century America. Seems a lot like the Gold plates and kinderhook plates to me. But you dont care about them, and neither does Sorensen... apparently. But I wonder why...

But I wonder why...This doesn't sound like scholarly palaver to me, Mike. Atrributing motives and attitudes to those not present or involved in a side issue seems odd to me. Words like "puportedly" "apparently" and "seems" are so conditional that one wonders what kind of skulduggery is really being suggested by you. Might it be better for you to deal in specifics and allow others to respond with their own views? 5

Robert F. Smith Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Let me guess...have not form an opinion yet on the BoM? Rob has been absent from this board for so long that I suspect that he is writing a major book. Should be a well-informed and reasonable anti-Mormon book, one which employs accuracy and good manners (something uncommon in the most recent of the genre).
Bernard Gui Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Is anyone still holding to the Brent Metcalf tin sheets theory? By the way, it should be noted that the research in Bro Sorenson' paper is well over 20 years old. Edited October 8, 2014 by Bernard Gui
Mike Reed Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Might it be better for you to deal in specifics and allow others to respond with their own views?I was specific. Why shouldnt the kinderhook plates, or the brass plates discovered by Strang, be included in this list?
Robert F. Smith Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I was specific. Why shouldnt the kinderhook plates, or the brass plates discovered by Strang, be included in this list?I was speaking about your attribution to others of particular attitudes and views. That was ill-mannered at best. As to specifics, I have no problem with citations to and summaries of matters related to metallurgy and metallic plates. That can be very helpful. However, you did not restrict your comments to those specifics, and you said some inappropriate things. That is the only problem. See my post #17. Edited October 11, 2014 by Robert F. Smith
Bernard Gui Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I thought that was Dan Vogel's theory.You are right. I mispoke. Does anyone still hold to that?
