How the Book of Mormon was Created - Dan Vogel Pt. 1 | Ep. 1056

In our final segments with renowned Joseph Smith historian Dan Vogel, we focus our attention on the creation of the Book of Mormon. Through his extensive research, Dan theorizes that the Book of Mormon is a tangible artifact giving insight into Joseph Smith's state of mind, and commentary on the cultural and spiritual influences that surrounded him in his early life.  In this interview, we focus our attention on the role of the golden plates in the creation of the Book of Mormon, the 116 "lost" pages of the original Book of Mormon and how this event influenced the final product, and we discuss the different events that may have influenced the timeline in which the Book of Mormon was created. 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:30 Summary of Joseph Smith’s early life 00:04:05 There were no visits to the hill, even though he said there was 00:06:40 Joseph tried to solve his family’s religious disputes 00:10:25 The earliest part of the Book of Mormon saved Alvin 00:12:11 Dan believes Joseph had a born again experience in 1820 00:16:25 The Book of Mormon is anti-Masonic 00:23:23 What is his theory for Joseph Smith writing a book? 00:25:40 Joseph Smith is pretty definitely a narcissist 00:31:46 Dan’s theory that Joseph Smith created a set of plates 00:33:55 When Joseph Smith gets the plates 00:40:35 Joseph Smith dislocated his thumb 00:44:05 Dan Vogel’s theory of Joseph Smith created the plates from tin 00:48:07 When does Joseph Smith finish making the plates? 00:53:06 Did Joseph Smith write the book in a short period of time? ==============DAN VOGEL PLAYLISTS============== Dan Vogel - Preeminent Joseph Smith Historian Playlist:    • Joseph Smith Historian Dan Vogel Pt. 1 | E...   Dan Vogel on Early Church History:    • Dan Vogel on Early Church History   Dan's YouTube Channel:    / @danvogel6802   --------------- We are 100% donor funded!
