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.

MOBOM updates

The Museum of the Book of Mormon (mobom.org) regularly adds new content and updates existing articles.


One of the most popular articles is the recently-revised analysis of the chapter in Rough Stone Rolling that covers the translation, which you can read here:

https://www.mobom.org/rsr-review

Although Rough Stone Rolling was published many years ago, it is often quoted/cited for the theory that Joseph Smith produced the Book of Mormon with the stone-in-the-hat (SITH) instead of using the Urim and Thummim, as Joseph and Oliver always claimed.

Some of the Church History articles have been revised as well.

The page explaining the two sets of plates (abridged plates in Harmony, plates of Nephi in Fayette) has been revised and updated:

MOBOM continues to make incremental improvements in response to reader/user feedback.
