Changes in the Book of Mormon -and- Dealing with Demographics (WMV)

Royal Skousen, "The Critical Text Project and Changes in the Book of Mormon," Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR), 2002, Windows Media Video (WMV), 57 minutes.

No one knows more about the Book of Mormon manuscripts than Dr. Royal Skousen. He has carefully studied the original and printers manuscripts as well as a number of printed editions of the Book of Mormon and has found some surprising things. His presentation will discuss the various changes in the book of Mormon, what they really are, and what they really mean. Are there really 4,000 changes in the Book of Mormon? Is that an issue we need to be concerned about? Dr. Skousen can take you to a whole new level of understanding of the Book of Mormon and its manuscripts.

"One of the true highlights of the conference was the presentation of Dr. Royal Skousen. Dr. Skousen has been the editor of the Book of Mormon Critical Text for the last 13 years. He knows more about the manuscripts and linguistics in the Book of Mormon than probably anyone in the world.

Dr. Skousen presented some of his findings (as many as could be presented in an hour) and commented that the most significant were his discoveries that the process of translation was so systematic and consistent. He has concluded that everything he has learned only adds to the fact that the Book of Mormon was the result of a divine translation process." --Cooper Johnson, excerpt from Meridian Magazine

The Question & Answer period with Brother Skousen following his main presentation is included.

Tim Heaton, "Dealing with Demographics" (LDS Family Statistics) Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), 2002 FAIR Conference, Windows Media Video (WMV), 45 minutes.

Many times anti-Mormons or even local newspapers print some new and surprising things about the LDS Church members that cast us in a negative light. Dr. Heaton, a sociologist and demographer, will be discussing what the facts really are. What demographic data should we pay attention to and what should we ignore? What are the current demographic facts about the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? This talk will help you judge the fruits of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the misrepresentations of those who oppose it.

The Question & Answer period with Brother Heaton following his main presentation is included.
