LDS Inc now producing Book of Mormon videos set in Heartland(USA)

Post by _Polygamy-Porter »

This was the Church's first official video that showed a North American setting for the Book of Mormon instead of a MesoAmerican setting.

The setting in the clip looks more like the the heartland model than the Meso-American model.

Edit to add: Who is the clown that BYU-TV hired to play Jesus in this?? LAMO

Sort of a Parthenon atop the Acropolis/South and Central American step pyramid look. Both the FARMS and Meldrum people can claim victory.

Wonder if the Jesus of this movie would set off any Geiger counters.

Could you provide a link to the video from an official church website?

From the video information:

#5: After we have covered all Book of Mormon related evidences, we will focus on answering other questions members of the LDS Church should have an answer for (such as Biblical evidences, LDS Church History, the Book of Abraham, Polygamy, Blacks and the Priesthood, Creation vs. Evolution, etc).


This should be rich.....
