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.

Retrospective on President Holland

Let's start the year 2026 with a retrospective.

President Holland wrote his Masters Thesis in 1966 about the Book of Mormon. Among other things, he included comments about the translation. 

I found his thesis more useful and relevant than the Gospel Topics Essays and the writings of all the modern SITH scholars (SITH = stone-in-the-hat theory).

I posted comments about it here:
