Social History of the Early Nephites (CD)

Brant Gardner, "A Social History of the Early Nephites," Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), 2001, CD.

Brother Gardner examines the New World in an attempt to find a similar time, context, and contemporary culture with which to better see the text of the Book of Mormon. Before suggesting an answer, however, it is incumbent upon us to know when we have found a plausible big picture. How do we know when we have found something that approaches probability rather than sheer coincidence? If we suggest that such nineteenth-century-sounding elements such as tents, scalping, democracy, and infant baptism are coincidence--and we do--how may we judge such a statement objectively?
