Abstract

How can we confidently discern the difference between a reliable historical claim and one that’s not so reliable? This is what Casey and Scott discussed in their last episode, where they introduced five source critical questions we can all ask to carefully assess the reliability of a historical truth claim. In this episode of Church History Matters, they practice putting these five questions to work by actually using them to measure and evaluate various historical truth claims about the witnesses of the Book of Mormon, a very high-stakes topic with conflicting claims in the historical record.
