004: An Introduction to Issues Surrounding the Book of Abraham

from Mormon Expression · host John Larsen

In this episode the panel is joined by Mormon Scholar Chris Smith to discuss the issues surrounding the Book of Abraham. Between critics and defenders, the Book of Abraham is probably the most contentious of all Mormon issues. To the uninitiated, these issues can quickly become technical and complicated and here we hope to unravel the mystery a bit. Topics discussed include the 19th century understand of Egyptology, Reformed Egyptian, the Egyptian and Hebrew languages, The Catalyst Theory, the Missing Papyri Theory, the Anton Transcript, the Kirtland Egyptian Papers (KEP) and the theories of John Gee and Hugh Nibley.
