Nephi & Goliath: A Reappraisal of the Use. . . --and-- Right on Target: Boomarang Hits (WMV)
The purpose Brother McGuire's presentation is to show two things--First, that Nephi intentionally borrows from the Old Testament in creating his text--not just in direct citations, as in the Isaiah material, but also indirectly, as he borrows phraseology and story lines from familiar Old Testament stories. Second, that in identifying where this material is borrowed, we find that the Book of Mormon gives us insight into the state of the text of the Brass Plates, and how the differ from our traditional Old Testament text. This in turn provides an interesting new evidence for the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. Matthew P. Roper, "Right on Target: Boomarang Hits on the Book of Mormon," Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR), WMV. Matt explores those arguments against the Book of Mormon that actually support the truthfullness of the book. He discusses the "Land of Jerusalem," old world steel in the Book of Mormon, cement, Book of Mormon proper names such as Alma, Jershon, and Shilum; Book of Mormon place names such as Nahom, and Book of Mormon agricultural evidences such as sheum and barley.

As of 2003, he is engaged in several research projects relating to the early Latter-day Saint history and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.
