		<description><![CDATA[Tina, on the post &#8220;Seeking for evidence&#8221; asked today:
Please give me the name of one renowned historian who takes the Book of Mormon serious.
Tina, I appreciate your question.  I have your answer.  Before I share it, I think it&#8217;s important to note why so many ask this question.
The Book of Mormon presents a serious challenge [...]]]></description>

This is one of the most frequently asked questions I encounter.  He accurately notes that there are scriptures that [...]]]></description>

Daniel,
Thanks for asking this question.  First and foremost, this was not the belief, or attitude, or teaching of the prophet Joseph Smith.  In fact, Joseph Smith [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not a protestant (I&#8217;m Mormon), but that doesn&#8217;t make me anti-protestant.  The two are mutually exclusive.  And there&#8217;s a big difference from being &#8220;non&#8221; (like being non-Mormon), and being anti.  One is innocent, without malice, while the other is focused upon criticism and destruction.

There&#8217;s a reason this post comes second, only after &#8220;a look at the question itself&#8220;, because all of the other supporting posts, answering the questions of critics, stem from one common theme&#8230; we&#8217;re different.

Absolutely.  Particularly in cases when it leads to the confusion of others who are sincere.
Labels are a powerful thing.

The dictionary, used to determine socially accepted definitions terms, defines a Christian as &#8220;one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ&#8221;, and &#8220;one who follows Jesus [...]]]></description>
