As we begin the third season of the Third Hour Podcast, we discuss the first of two creation accounts in Genesis — and what we hope to accomplish through our study of the Hebrew Bible.

The Third Hour Podcast is taking a break! We might be back next year. Until then, thank you for joining us in our investigation of the New Testament and Book of Mormon.

At long last, we've reached the end of the Book of Mormon. Join us as we discuss testimony, doubt, action, and Moroni's promise.

As Mormon and Moroni exchange high counselor talks, the Third Hour Podcast discusses bitter fountains, charity, and child baptism.

As we enter the first few chapters of Moroni — which also happen to be some of the Book of Mormon's most prescriptive — the Third Hour Podcast asks about the essential portions of various ordinances and how we can see to the welfare of souls in the Church.

As the Book of Ether concludes with another series of cataclysmic battles, the Third Hour Podcast discusses the function of recounting so many fights, some ambiguity in discussing faith and grace, and the difficulties in comparing the Book of Mormon and the New Testament.

Begetting and battling — the two pastimes of the Jaredites. Join us as we discuss Jaredite religion, historical models, and how we approach ancient documents.

The Book of Ether presents a number of new questions, especially as the Brother of Jared prays for guidance and receives salvation through his knowledge. The Third Hour Podcast discusses the Tower of Babel, the function of Ether's inclusion of genealogy, the specifics of prayer, salvation through knowledge, and the possible inclusion of Gnostic and Sumerian religion in the Book of Mormon.

As we read Mormon's last words and get to know Moroni better, we also discuss the interactions between the Bible and Book of Mormon, and give our individual takes on what it means to "condemn not."

The Book of Mormon turns its thoughts from ideal society to inevitable decline, raising a number of questions for the Third Hour Podcast. If the teachings of Jesus were so transformative, where did the divisions of this later book emerge from? Is a similar collapse inevitable today? If so, why should we work if there's no hope? If not, what does that say about our attitudes? How can we build Zion?
