Noel Reynolds and Jeff Lindsay spoke at the Tracing Ancient Threads in the Book of Moses Conference on Saturday, September 19, 2020 about “‘Strong Like Unto Moses’: The Case for Ancient Roots in the Book of Moses Based on Book of Mormon Usage of Content Apparently from the Brass Plates.” Their paper discusses research in recent decades that shows the Book of Moses to be more than Joseph Smith’s alleged reworking of Genesis based on his personal views, his nineteenth-century environment, or some prophetic imagination.

All of the conference presentations were filmed, and both video and audio recordings of each presentation are available.

    Interesting, comprehensive article. Jeff or Noel (or anybody else), will you please explain more about what you see as evidence that parallels indicate one way transmission from Moses to the Book of Mormon? In most cases it looks to me like a person could reasonably argue that the shared language derived from the Book of Mormon rather than the other way around. Perhaps I missed something. Thanks.
