YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

John and Gerardo join Dr. Thomas Murphy as he presents his fascinating findings regarding 19th Century Native American Christian converts, called "Neophytes," that closely resemble important personages in The Book of Mormon. Dr. Murphy discusses the Smith family's association with Christian missionaries converting Native Americans and looks at the similarities between Book of Mormon events and historical events in New York. Dr. Murphy also touches on the topic of race and gender in the Book of Mormon, pointing out Joseph Smith's codification of racist ideas regarding skin color and the curse into scripture. Finally, he discusses the question of whether the Book of Mormon is actual history.

ABOUT US:

Mormon Stories Podcast is the longest-running and most successful podcast in Mormonism - hosted by Dr. John Dehlin. At Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We also occasionally interview scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals. Our overall mission is to: 1) Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and theology, 2) Support Mormons (and members of other high-demand religions) who are experiencing a religious faith crisis, and 3) Promote healing, growth and community for those who choose to leave the LDS Church or other high demand religions.

Mormon Stories Podcast is a product of the Open Stories Foundation - a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to supporting Mormons in religious transition.
