I put this over on my other personal web page (the chess site, which I am now also contributing Mormon and biblical studies to to as well) because I have so much to post on the Mormon Discussion Inc that it will overwhelm them. I will share between the two sites as I have time. This is a fantastic interview with Colby Townsend discussing the major problems with Isaiah in the Book of Mormon, and it is decidedly not what you think they are. The apologists and scholars in Mormonism have not addressed them, amazingly enough. This is not just more of the same, but ground breaking new work Townsend has done, and it is available as he notes in the video, for free. Come and enjoy a half an hour with Townsend and myself, there is always something new LDS scholars have overlooked, and LDS apologetics have missed and messed up. Townsend is a Godsend.

Professor, this interview is really interesting. Isaiah in the Book of Mormon was the starting of the cracking of my sagging shelf. If I had been able then to have the information that you and Townsend discussed in the interview, well... it would have made things a bit quicker for me.

I'm glad it can help... it is a fascinating topic to be sure, and Townsend is the man for the job.
