Jonathan Neville returns to Mormon Book Reviews to discuss with Steven Pynakker about the recent paper published in BYU Studies written by Don Bradley that effectively mainstreams Neville's original work that Joseph Smith most likely did indeed translate two seperate sets of plates to produce the Book of Mormon. Jonathan provides an important oral history of his hypothesis that was once viewed as fringe and is now pretty widely accepted. Pynakker also discusses how he accidentally disclosed that Richard Bushman felt that Jonathan's work was groundbreaking on Mormon Stories with John Dehlin years ago! #josephsmith #bookofmormon #evangelical #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #communityofchrist #churchofjesuschrist #mormonhistory #mormonbookreviews #jonathanneville #stevenpynakker #stickofjoseph #mormonstories #johndehlin #richardbushman Links provided by Neville: https://www.mobom.org/two-sets-of-plates Rational Restoration: https://www.amazon.com/Rational-Restoration-Jonathan-Neville/dp/1964978319 https://www.lettervii.com/2026/01/two-sets-of-plates-enters-mainstream.html Link to Don Bradley's BYU Studies paper: https://byustudies.byu.edu/article/were-nephis-small-plates-contained-in-mormons-gold-plates Link to get 10% off an Echo Hydrogen Water Flask: Promo Code: MORMONBOOKREVIEWS https://echowater.com/?utm_campaign=%7B%7B.Username%7D%7D&utm_medium=bronze&utm_source=influencer Links to support Mormon Book Reviews: Venmo Link: https://account.venmo.com/u/mbrven PayPal Link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/mormonbookreviews?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Patreon Link: https://www.patreon.com/mormonbookreviews Channel Merch Store: https://www.mormonbookreviews.com MBR Email: mormonbookreviews@gmail.com

While Steven Smilanich cannot claim that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is literally true, he argues that it can be philosophically true. Through his book Latter-day Saints Are Existentialists and his YouTube channel This Saint’s Theory, Steven explores that possibility. Drawing on a range of secular philosophies woven together with Mormon thought, he poses difficult questions designed to make any Mormon pause and reflect on the meaning of their existence. @ThisSaintsTheory #mormondoctrine #nietzsche #josephsmith #mormonhistory #mormoncosmology #philosophy #nihilism #christianity #evangelical #stevenpynakker Link to Purchase the book: https://www.amazon.com/Latter-day-Saints-Existentialists-Theory-essays/dp/B0DPQRR8QM/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7l6RN5E-HJblRTB3bHn25g.I3Rkmxeobuw2-EVxlHbhPOvTTMEmtRS2MCNZ7gl2AgE&qid=1769729520&sr=8-1 Link to get 10% off an Echo Hydrogen Water Flask: Promo Code: MORMONBOOKREVIEWS https://echowater.com/?utm_campaign=%7B%7B.Username%7D%7D&utm_medium=bronze&utm_source=influencer Links to support Mormon Book Reviews: Venmo Link: https://account.venmo.com/u/mbrven PayPal Link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/mormonbookreviews?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Patreon Link: https://www.patreon.com/mormonbookreviews Channel Merch Store: https://www.mormonbookreviews.com MBR Email: mormonbookreviews@gmail.com
