Episode 14 of The Book of Mormon examines the geographical claims in the Book of Mormon and whether they align with archaeological findings in the Americas. Through a debate format, we explore John Sorenson's research about Mesoamerican connections, discuss specific locations like Zarahemla and Hill Cumorah, and consider challenging elements like Jaredite barges and metal working. We weigh physical evidence against faith perspectives, examining the tension between literal and symbolic interpretations, ultimately leaving listeners to form their own conclusions about Book of Mormon geography.
