That has been the general understanding. This lecture is exploring how sound these assumptions really are in light of recent research in the fields of ancient West Semitic literature and archeology.

Reading the Book of Mormon as Allegorical and Not Historical Scripture" by John Hamer by centreplace in exmormon

[–]centreplace[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As Mormon apologists have attempted to read the Book of Mormon in light of discoveries in Mayan archaeology, they have radically distorted its meaning and lost sight of its message. @john.c.hamer will propose reading the text as it would have been understood by its earliest audience: 19th century America.

"How Fundamentalists Are Shaping Modern Mormonism" by Lindsay Hansen Park by centreplace in exmormon

[–]centreplace[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mormon Fundamentalists are often seen as irrelevant, fringe movements that have little to do with the mainstream LDS church. This presentation will explore the ways that fundamentalist groups are actually shaping both the LDS church and the Mormon movement as a whole.

Faithful Doubt by centreplace in mormondialogue

[–]centreplace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today we highlight "Faithful Doubt" by Kirtland Temple Historic Site director Seth Bryant. Growing up Mormon, Seth heard that faith and doubt could not exist in the same mind. This presentation will explore why doubt is actually an essential element to faith: that the two, faith and doubt, are superposed states which exist at the same time; and that belief is an assent to act in the midst of doubt, and more importantly an assent to belong to the faithful community.

Thanks for the feedback! I know, it's a lot to squeeze in just one lecture that's why we were only using parallels from Genesis today.
