Good job. I look forward to the rest of your articles.



Thanks.... but the credit for article 1 really goes to Stephen Smoot, the first contributing author. He wrote a great job summarizing the issue and providing good references for interested readers to dive deeper into the subject if they like.

*Please* .... anyone else who would like to contribute please do!


SURE, that was a nice summary but every single reference is to a pro-Church scholar. Where's the links to Robert Ritner, Kalus Baer, Deveria, etc?

By reading only this article and the all pro-LDS sources it references, it clearly steers the reader to accepting the pro-LDS viewpoint. Not very objective.

So why not write an article on the same subject from a different viewpoint? :) All contributions are welcome.

Also, Stephen just gave me 2 additional articles I hope to post tonight and you will see pro, critic, and neutral sources referenced.
