At least Bradshaw managed to prove that producing a 500-page book in only several months does not require the gift and power of God.

Thank you for sharing your grasp of this. If I may, from a complete amateur point of view, I think if I was in the position of Kofford Books with all this going down, I would get a list of workers at Interpreter and I would never publish any of their submissions again.the_narrator wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 10:10 pmAnd there are many examples where it seems pretty clear that Bradshaw was copying block quotations from MI. For example, here are two block quotes from MI that Bradshaw seemed to take from MI (right) to use in his book (left). While MI uses them in the main text, and Bradshaw includes them in endnotes, the immediately sequential use of identical block quotes seems to indicate quite clearly that he was lifting them and the research from MI.
Coincidentally(?), DCP did something similar several years ago when he copied a block quote and the introductory text from something I had written for his own FAIR conference paper. (Wherein he also other quotes to me that were by others.)

Yes, that is pretty gooey, alright. It also shows how much he owed to Joe and Nick BEFORE Bradshaw popped in to borrow his Masonic library. What this further shows me is how important Joe, Nick, and Cheryl have been to the process of helping scholars understand the significance of Masonry to Mormonism, while apologists have generally obfuscated the issue. The Mopologists couldn’t get greater light and knowledge on their own. They needed the trio that wrote Method Infinite to do the hard work, while Bradshaw stole their work and added the patina of reverential awe to their work to make it more palatable to an apologetic readership.Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 2:03 amJust read John Lynch's slobbering review of Bradshaw's absolutely outstanding, spiritually sensitive, scholarly powerhouse, outrageously successful finding ancient parallels Jeff Bradshaw book on Mormonism and Freemasonry. I mean... yeah.
