Jonathan Edwards a major influence on the Book of Mormon? Interview of Jonathan Neville


Listen Later

Evangelical Steven Pynakker interviews Jonathan Edward Neville author of "Infinite Goodness: Joseph Smith, Jonathan Edwards and the Book of Mormon". There is much more to the man who gave us America's most famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". In this groundbreaking work Jonathan reveals that what many in the LDS Church think about Edwards is inaccurate. In the interview we discuss how Joseph may have started reading Edwards work when he was around the age of six. Neville demonstrates that the Book of Mormon is heavily reliant on Edwards. As a translator Joseph would have been influenced by the environment he was in. This study shows that many of the non-Biblical phrases in the BOM can be directly connected to the writings and sermons of Jonathan Edwards. The author also reveals that Edwards may have played a pivotal role in preparing America and the world for Restoration.
