Outro

We are back today for part two of our examination of the CES Letter vs. the Book of Mormon. The CES Letter is perhaps one of the most influential documents in Mormon studies, and for years the LDS Church has criticized it and its author, Jeremy Runnells. Is this a fair treatment by the Church, or are Jeremy's questions on church doctrine valid?

In this series, we are going point by point through the questions raised in the CES Letter to discuss how they line up with the Book of Mormon, as well as the responses the Church has provided thus far.

Some of the questions we’ll cover include:

-Why is there no archaeological evidence for the Book of Mormon?

-Where did the events of the Book of Mormon actually take place?

-Why does the Book of Mormon share so many similarities with other books from Joseph Smith’s time?

-Does the Book of Mormon reflect a Trinitarian view of God?

Join us today as we attempt to answer these questions—and more.
