Book of Mormon Evidence Found in America? w/ Brad Lepper & Thomas Murphy

Steven Pynakker of Mormon Book Reviews teams up with Dr. Thomas W Murphy, Past President of the Mormon Social Science Association and author of Unsettling Scripture: Iroquois and the Book of Mormon, to interview Dr. Brad Lepper, Senior Archaeologist at Ohio History Connections and author of Ohio Archaeology: An Illustrated Chronicle of Ohio’s Ancient American Indian Cultures. Dr. Lepper discusses interactions with Mormon missionaries and tourists at the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum that houses the Newark Holy Stones and Newark mounds and earthworks representing Adena and Hopewell cultures. He shares his review of the material culture in the Book of Mormon and its correspondences and contrasts with that found by archaeologists working in the Heartland of America. Dr. Murphy and Dr. Lepper share some of their experiences with Native American colleagues and discuss the importance of centering Indigenous perspectives in archaeological interpretations. #bookofmormon #nephites #hopewell #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #mormonhistory #ancientrelics #evangelical #josephsmith #heartlanders #rodmeldrum #bookofmormoncentral #bookofmormonstories #holybook #nativeamerican #moundbuilders #mounds #tenlosttribes #ancientamerica #archaeology #adena #lostcivilizations Link to Skeptical Inquiry Articles: https://skepticalinquirer.org/authors...
