Kent P. Jackson, Adam Clarke and Isaiah in the Book of Mormon

Interpreter has published a great article by Kent P. Jackson responding to Colby Townsend's joke of an article:

Kent P. Jackson, "Adam Clarke and Isaiah in the Book of Mormon," Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship 66 (2025): 131-150 (PDF)
