Book of Mormon setting: Retrospective on President Holland

BOOK OF MORMON SETTING. Many Latter-day Saints still believe what the prophets have taught about the New York Cumorah/Ramah. President Nelson: "Good inspiration is based upon good information." Here, we share good information from original sources that corroborates the prophets. We support the Church policy of neutrality, which promotes unity by recognizing multiple working hypotheses. We encourage all interested parties to do the same, all in the pursuit of clarity, charity and understanding.

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:
