King Follett Discourse in the Light of Ancient and Medieval Jewish and Christian Beliefs (DVD)

John A. Tvedtnes; (read by Matt Roper), Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research, 2004, DVD Video.

Tvedtnes presents support found in the Hebrew Bible, early Christian writings, and other ancient and medieval texts for concepts found in the King Follett Discourse, including some that were not available during Joseph SmithÆs time.

Review Excerpt:

"I have been listening to the CD of the Tvedtnes conference talk in the car as I drive to and from work. It relates the teachings of the King Follet discourse with many of the early writings.

All I can say is WOW! It is fabulous!

The only problem I have with it is I am going to have to listen to it several times to pick up on everything. This talk is very much like what Barry Bickmore did with his book on early Christiainity.

If you listen to John's talk you learn that Joseph Smith was either the greatist theological mind of our time--bar none, or he was a prophet of God." --Scott Gordon
