Episode 15: Dale Luffman and The Book of Mormon's Witness to Its First Readers

Can the Book of Mormon be powerful with a reading of the text that doesn't require literal historicity? Join host Brittany Mangelson and retired Community of Christ apostle Dale Luffman as they discuss his book, "The Book of Mormon's Witness to Its First Readers." They explore the religious and cultural context surrounding the publication of the Book of Mormon and how the text would have fit and responded to the worldview of the early saints.Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.
