Mormonism & The Charles Anthon Affair

The Strange Meeting That Shaped a Scripture In this episode, we unravel one of the most curious and consequential moments in early Mormon history: the mysterious encounter between Martin Harris and Professor Charles Anthon. Was it a miraculous fulfillment of prophecy… or a carefully staged attempt to lend scholarly credibility to Joseph Smith’s golden plates? We dive into: The origins of the Anthon Transcript and the infamous “Caractors” document Conflicting accounts: Harris’s prophetic tale vs. Anthon’s fraud accusation The strange mix of languages alleged on the Book of Mormon—Egyptian, Chaldaic, Assyriac, Arabic—and what they really meant A compelling theory: Did Joseph Smith lift characters from Adam Clarke’s Bible commentary to impress the experts? Join us as we explore the tangled web of faith, deception, and linguistic sleight of hand that helped launch a movement. Was Professor Anthon duped? Did Harris hear what he wanted to hear? And could this whole event have been engineered to fulfill Isaiah’s “sealed book” prophecy? This is Mormonism & The Charles Anthon Affair — and the questions it raises are just as fascinating as the answers.
