Episode 35
This episode features Alex Douglas, author of the new book, The Old Testament for Latter-day Saints. He and Signature marketing manager Devery Anderson discuss how biblical scholarship has enriched our understanding of the Hebrew Bible and specifically what this means for LDS Church members. How should they view statements in the Book of Mormon that reference the Pentateuch as having been written by Moses? What about Nephi quoting portions of Isaiah that had not yet been written? Are these scholarly conclusions detrimental to faith? This episode discusses all of this and more.
