Ep108: Pt 5: Does the Book of Mormon Have to be Historical?

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined again by the amazing Dr. John Lundwall for Episode 5 in his series on Book of Mormon authenticity and the The Standard of Proof for the Book of Mormon. In the final episode of our series with Dr. John Lundwall, Lundwall responds to questions and comments as he discusses the differences between oral and literate cultures and what a "tight" and "loose" translation means for the Book of Mormon. Further, Lundwall shows that the standard of Proof for the Book of Mormon was established by the Mormon prophets themselves and resides in its historicity. If the Book of Mormon is not historical then the Mormon Church is not true. The Book of Mormon's historicity is testable, however, the Church repeatedly moves arguments of historicity to the untestable. As long as they do this, they will always have an argument to make, and listeners to the podcast will have to decide for themselves on which arguments to follow.
