The entire event will be streamed free of charge on our YouTube channel. More information is available here. Brother Bushman's presentation will stream here. Click "notify me" to get a reminder from YouTube when the session is about to begin. Saturday's presentations will be: Jake Billings - All things denote there is a God: Lehi’s discourse on natural theology in Second Nephi 2 Matthew Roper - The Book of Mormon and Archaeology Challenges: Questions and Perspectives Stephen Smoot - Is the Book of Mormon a “Translation” or a “Revelation”?

It is actually Defending the Book of Mormon Conference, but I am concerned the dates will be cut off on phones if the title is too long. And just in case it isn’t clear, it’s virtual and free.

InCognitus Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Counting down now to Richard Bushman's presentation.... 27 more minutes! 1 Link to comment
InCognitus Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Does anyone know when and where we can obtain any notes and references related to this conference? I was fascinated by Morgan Deane's presentation on the Book of Mormon in the Debates on War and Peace, and I was unable to take notes while I was listening. I have had discussions with my Anabaptist friend on this very topic, as he has sometimes criticized the church's position on war (most Anabaptists either characterize themselves as pacifists or promoting nonresistance). So the topic has always been of interest to me. 2 Link to comment

Nothing beats putting something you wrote on your bookshelf.) I thought I noticed a typo so I already had the file out and attached it. Fair 2023 BoM Conference.docx 2 Link to comment

morgan.deane Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Sarah Allen just said that they will have the book out, hopefully by Christmas. And they'll release an article every two weeks online. 2 Link to comment
