February 10, 2025 Ep. 25: The TRUTH about the Book of Mormon & View of the Hebrews
For almost 200 years now, skeptics have been trying to come up with how Joseph Smith could have possibly come up with the Book of Mormon on his own. One of the most popular theories today is that Joseph Smith used information or was inspired by another book called View of the Hebrews, by Ethan Smith (no relation). In this episode of Keystone, David Snell sits down with Latter-day Saint scholar Stephen Smoot to talk about what the evidence tells us, and what it doesn't tell us.

October 01, 2024 Ep. 20: Response: Angel "Nephi" was a clerical error, not a cover-up

September 10, 2024 Ep. 17: Checking CES Letter claims about the "imaginary plates"
An antagonistic source called the CES Letter compiles several quotes that talk about the Book of Mormon witnesses only seeing the golden plates in a vision, or with their imagination, or under entrancement, etc. How reliable are these quotes?
