Symposium report - October 20, 2023

Last Friday I spoke to around 350 people in Lehi, Utah, at the Land of Promise symposium. I discussed the two sets of plates and other topics for over an hour, followed by another hour of Q&A. Many in the audience had never heard of the events in Church history I discussed even though they were otherwise well-informed about Church history.

The most common question, as usual, is "Why haven't I heard this before?" 

It's cool to see more and more people, both Latter-day Saints and others, become aware of the original, authentic historical record about the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon. 

Here are some of the slides I showed.
