269: The Book of Mormon Witnesses

Today Chris and Clay join me again for a round-table discussion about the eleven witnesses to the Book of Mormon.  We talk at length about our assumptions that the Three Witnesses has a spiritual event, that the Eight Witnesses had a physical event, whether their experience was consistent, and how the Institutional Church may have expressed certainty about the boundaries and constructs of their experience when in the end all these assumptions may in fact be problematic and paradoxical.   RESOURCES:   Websites http://www.jefflindsay.com/LDSFAQ/witnesses.html http://signaturebooks.com/book-of-mormon-witnesses-revisited/ http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/BOM-Witn.html http://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1385&context=jbms http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865644606/15-witnesses-to-the-Book-of-Mormon.html http://www.mormonthink.com/vogelwitnesses.htm http://www.scottwoodward.org/Talks/html/z-Scholarly%20Articles/AndersonRL_BookOfMormonWitnesses.html http://mit.irr.org/facts-on-book-of-mormon-witnesses-part-2 https://knowhy.bookofmormoncentral.org/content/who-are-the-few-who-were-permitted-to-see-the-plates https://journeyoffaithfilms.com/about-the-book-of-mormon/joseph-smith-the-three-witnesses/three-and-eight-witnesses http://www.truthiseternal.com/bomw.html https://www.mormoninterpreter.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/peterson-v20-2016-pp247-260-PDF.pdf http://lifeafter.org/book-of-mormon-witnesses/http://www.moroni10.com/witnesses/golden_plates.html   Books Marvin Hill’s book on Joseph Smith Dan Vogel’s Early documents Vol I Richard Anderson on the Witnesses Grant Palmer’s book on Mormon Origins Joseph Smith Papers   The post 269: The Book of Mormon Witnesses appeared first on Mormon Discussions Podcasts - Full Lineup.
