Critics say we have the papyri from which the Book of Abraham text was translated, which is factually incorrect. Egyptologists have translated it and it is not the Book of Abraham.

2025-11-0727 minMartin Tanner's Religion TodayThe Kinderhook Plates Incident; and, The Zelph IncidentAlthough critics and anti-Mormons try to suggest the Kinderhook Plates demonstrate Joseph Smith was not a true prophet, the opposite is true. Joseph detected them to be fakes and never translated them. Critics also try to claim the Zelph incident shows Joseph Smith was a false prophet. During the Zion's Camp march, Joseph Smith received revelation about a large skeleton that was unearthed, saying the person was "Zelph," a Lamanite (Native American) prophet. The statements of Joseph Smith must be taken on faith as true by those who believe he was a prophet, or disbelieved by skeptics due to their...

2025-09-1921 minMartin Tanner's Religion TodayIs God a Person, or Just a Spirit? Is God Single or Married?Although not widely known, in this episode of Religion Today, Martin describes how in Jewish and Christian tradition and belief, God the Father is seen as being a person in form, with an actual physical body.

2025-09-1222 minMartin Tanner's Religion TodayDid People During Jesus' Lifetime Believe He Was Just a Great Teacher, or Much More?Critics claim Jesus was just an impressive man, who over time, was turned into a God by the Christians.

2025-07-181h 06Martin Tanner's Religion TodayImplications of John Taylor's Just Published 1886 Revelation on Plural MarriageIn June 2025, an 1886 John Taylor Revelation on plural marriage was published. Critics and fundamentalists say it means polygamy should never have ended, the 1890 Wilford Woodruff Manifesto should never have been issued, the LDS Church is self-contradictory and has been hiding the 1886 revelation. Host Martin Tanner explains why this is not true, for example: The 1886 John Taylor revelation says nothing that was not revealed much earlier, in 1843 in D&C 132. The 1890 Manifesto should have been written and is binding. Martin provided several proofs the 1886 revelation was not hidden, but was knows from the day it was written, mentioned by many General A...
2025-07-1123 minMartin Tanner's Religion TodayDoes the Constitution Require a "Wall of Separation" Between Religion and Government?The phrase "wall of separation" is not in the Constitution.

2025-02-0739 minMartin Tanner's Religion TodayThe Doctrine & CovenantsIn this episode of Religion Today, host Martin Tanner shares little known facts about the D&C, including that a committee decided which of Joseph Smith's revelations would be included and which would be excluded. The D&C is by far the most historically accurate series scriptures ever recorded. Why? All revelations in the D&C were written down as they were received, or within a day or two after. That cannot be said of the Book of Mormon, Old Testament, New Testament, Pearl of Great Price, or any other scripture.

This Scholastic-approved biography of Ann M. Martin was written by Margot Becker R., one of the few living beings to have seen the Dark Library and witnessed its macabre secrets, and as such, it's a pretty perilous read! This week, our tw...
