This episode is the audio version of the AMA, and includes some answers to questions that came in after the AMA was over!

This is the audio of the presentation I gave in St. George at the invitation of the Southern Utah Post-Mormon Support Group on January 9, 2022.

It goes not only into a paper I had published in BYU-Studies, but also into how that paper developed over the course of about two decades, and the two unpublished papers that led up to it!

As strange as this story is, it is a story I have long wanted to tell!  And here it is!  Make of it what you will!

I was recently honored to be asked to give a presentation before the Mormonism and Western Esotericism Group.  My address on the subject of Ancient Hebrew Numerology in the Book of Mormon was warmly received, and we had a wonderful time talking about it and related subjects during the second half of the evening.

I want to thank Professor Trevor Luke of Florida State University for his gracious invitation to make this presentation, and all the scholars associated with the MWE for their graciousness in listening to what I had to say, and especially for their fabulous insights into the subject!
