Stephen Smoot on B.H. Roberts and the Book of Mormon

 B.H. Roberts (1857-1933) is one of my favourite LDS theologians. His The Truth, The Way, The Life: An Elementary Treatise on Theology is one of my favourite works on theology, and I try to recommend it to people whenever I get a chance. Book of Mormon Central's Archive has a PDF of the book one can download here.


My friend, Stephen Smoot, has two recent blog posts addressing B.H. Roberts and the Book of Mormon in response to the recent nonsense proliferated by Shannon C. Montez:


B. H. Roberts and the Book of Mormon: Exhumation and Reburial


and


B. H. Roberts and the Book of Mormon: An Addendum


If Montez has proven anything, it is not that Roberts lost his faith in the Book of Mormon; it is that she is a joke of a "scholar."
