Impact of Mormon Critics on LDS Scholarship (CD)

Michael R. Ash, "The Impact of Mormon Critics on LDS Scholarship," Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), 2002.

Brother Ash believes we should be thankful for anti-Mormons. In his presentation he explores the many things that LDS scholars have researched and learned from studying the issues raised by LDS critics. Instead of fighting against the critics, maybe we should be thanking them.

Some of the topics he addresses are:

* Can Opposition be Beneficial?

* Biblical Studies - The Joseph Smith Translation, New Testament Definition of Christianity, Deification/Theosis, Baptism for the Dead, Martin Luther and the Apostasy, Book of Abraham Studies - Book of Abraham as Penned by Abraham.

* Book of Mormon Studies - Anachronisms, Geography, Environmental Influences, Which Book Came First?, Plagiarism from the KJV, DNA.
* FARMS

* Nahom

* History - Fawn Brodie, Jerald and Sandra Tanner, Seerstones and Treasure Digging, The Smith Family, The First Vision

The Question & Answer period with Brother Ash following the main presentation is included.

Note: The Windows Media Video (WMV) format also includes the 2002 Conference Presenation called "The Protean Joseph Smith" by Daniel C. Peterson.

Michael Ash has been in several Elder's Quorum presidencies and taught the Priests, Elder's Quorum, Gospel Doctrine for the Single Young Adults, and has been teaching general Gospel Doctrine for 5 years. His first real encounter with anti-Mormon literature came in about 1980 after reading The Kingdom of the Cults. About four years later, after seeing The God Makers, Mike became interested in LDS apologetics. He's been an active participant in on-line LDS apologetics since 1990, and he currently owns and operates the MormonFortress.com Web site, a repository of apologetic articles refuting anti-Mormon accusations. He has authored nearly four dozen articles on his Web site and provides links to dozens of other articles authored by other LDS apologists. Mike was a presenter at the 2000 FAIR Apologetics Conference in Alta, Utah, and has published in the FARMS Review of Books 13:2, and Dialogue 35:4.
