long ago ideas

“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago." - Friedrich Nietzsche. Long ago, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery conquered false claims that the Book of Mormon was fiction or that it came through a stone in a hat. But these old claims have resurfaced in recent years. To conquer them again, we have to return to what Joseph and Oliver taught.

Gen Conf, SITH, Interpreter, etc.

I'm hearing General Conference will be exceptional, so be sure to watch/listen.

On all of these blogs, we offer suggestions for improvement in the pursuit of clarity, charity and understanding. We charitably assume everyone is acting in good faith with the hope of bringing people to Christ, which is the only reason why we write these blogs.

We discuss these issues to bring clarity and understanding, always in an effort to help people make informed decisions, acknowledging our bias in favor of believing what Joseph and Oliver taught about the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon.

Regarding SITH, there are some new posts:

The latter one includes an in-depth review of Royal Skousen's part Seven, which we discussed on this blog a while back.

We also applaud the recent work at Scripture Central to improve its content. For example, they deleted the old Spanish language site that included detailed maps of Cumorah in Mexico.

Book of Mormon Central's M2C map in Spanish

Good work!
