How to Test a Truth Claim: Analyzing the Anthon Caractors Document


Listen Later

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by linguist and creator of the Romulan language in the Star Trek Universe, Trent Pehrson.

Trent uses his expertise in linguistics to dissect the Anthon Transcript and evaluate the truth claim that this documents contains characters transcribed by Joseph Smith directly from the gold plates.

His method for systematically determining if a truth claim is accurate can be used to assess many different areas of Mormonism.

In this episode Trent also turns his attention to a book by Jerry Grover called, "Translation of the “Caractors” Document" to see if it meets his truth claim criteria.

We're sure you'll find this episode as fascinating as we did! And yes, we do discuss Star Trek a bit! ;)
