In this episode of Conversations with Interpreter, our hosts, Avram and Thora Shannon speak with Jeff Lindsay, a member of the Board of Directors of the Interpreter Foundation. Lindsay’s article was published in two parts in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship. This episode looks at the first part, where we discuss the methodology behind the article and the implications of it for the Book of Mormon, for Joseph Smith’s New Translation, and for the relationship between the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The article shows places where the Book of Mormon authors are aware of a Genesis text that has strong affinities to our Book of Moses in the Pearl of Great Price, bringing a deeper dimension to Joseph Smith’s translational output.
