Book of Abraham: Dealing with the Critics (CD)

Michael D. Rhodes, "The Book of Abraham: Dealing with the Critics," Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), 2003.

Ever since the rediscovery of the Joseph Smith Papyri, critics have charged that Egyptology has found the Book of Abraham to be fraudulent. Michael Rhodes demonstrates in this technical but very informative presentation the weakness of such arguments and shows how the critics have failed to give Joseph Smith credit in areas where Joseph got it right.

BONUS: The Windows Media Video format includes Roger R. Keller's presentation, The Grace of Apologetics.

Michael D. Rhodes is Associate Research Professor in Ancient Scripture at BYU. He earned a B.A. in Classical Greek from BYU in 1970, a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology in 1982, and an M.S. in Physics from the University of New Mexico in 1989. Michael has done graduate work in Egyptology at both the Freie Universitaet (Berlin) and Johns Hopkins University.
