- Daniel C. Peterson is a professor of Islamic Studies and Arabic in the Department of Asian and Near Eastern Languages at Brigham Young University and currently serves as editor-in-chief of BYU's Middle Eastern Texts Initiative. He is a member of the executive council of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship at Brigham Young University.
Peterson is known for his work as an apologist and scholar on subjects dealing with claims of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), of which he is a member. He has served as the editor of the FARMS Review, a periodical produced by the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies. Peterson is a regular participant in online fora about Mormonism where he discusses the LDS faith and its apologetics. One of his most recent projects has been the development of a website featuring the testimonies of LDS scholars.
In this episode, Dr. Peterson discusses: Middle Eastern Text Initiative, Three Witnesses and Golden Plates, Nature of Apologetics, Does FARMS Make Doctrine?
Dan Peterson is a much nicer guy than I was expecting from the message boards. Another reason we need to get closer to each other for understanding...
Plural marriage has bothered me since I was 10 years old. I am so surprised by the nonchalant attitude of Daniel Petersen. There is no mention of the value of women in this conversation. Of course, the Church is a patriarchal institution, and women have not been treated with the respect we deserve. The early church treated women as property. I am supposed to feel that because I am very bothered by plural marriage and all of the mistakes made in our church history that I am not mature? I love spirituality. I love feeling watched over and guided by a loving Heavenly Father. I seek to follow my heart. I have always searched the scriptures diligently since a very young child, and I have a huge library and a huge interest in studying. I make time every day to learn something know about the church and about anything that is placed before me. Since I have 11 children and work full time as a professional music instructor, my life is full to overflowing. The questions I have had on plural marriage could no longer be held inside or" placed on a shelf" (as I was instructed by a church patriarch years ago and have noticed that many others have been told the same "shelf" advice on podcasts). I have read many of Daniel Peterson's articles in the Deseret News. I am highly involved in education. Listening to Dr. Peterson is very confusing to me, given all of my personal research. Has Dr. Peterson taken time to see what others outside of the church may think, or must he only see it through a gospel perspective? I suppose he needs to protect his job security. I continue to read the Book of Mormon every day out of habit and because I love it, but I am listening with a different perspective, because I am questioning if Joseph was a fraud vs a prophet of God. I am praying for divine guidance and wondering how much of this life is to be a test. I do not believe God is playing games with us. I do believe that God loves all of His children, not just LDS. I also believe we all can come to our own conclusions logically as well as spiritually. I would love to get the reading list that would help resolve all of my questions, Dr. Peterson!
Why did you have 11 children?
Thank you for sharing the experience of the blessing for your son. I have had many of those kind of experiences.
some personal revelations have to remain sacred and untold!
love this thanks!

I understand not taking a prophet's statement as doctrine, but focusing on the point of what they were saying... but mormons wont accept that either.
Why have prophets when they make points that are dead wrong and you just sweep them under the rug?
Blaming the victim. It's YOUR fault that you didn't find and read the book! But much of the information was hidden. Joseph Fielding Smith did his best to hide and cover.
what os the name of the personas conducting the interview ?

I agree with Peterson -- how can any adult claim he has not heard the stories that they now say were hidden from them. I'm older that Dan and grew up on the East Coast in a mission field, and I knew all theses things before I left high school. There was nothing hidden. There were only people who were too lazy to learn.
I feel about Mormonism exactly the same way that tapir Dan feels about Israel. It most certainly is not a bright and Shining Church on top of a hill.
Either they were small plates or there was big hat!😉
Islamic language? Mormon language? Christian language?
I still don’t understand the first premise?
He got the plates, but didn’t translate those directly, but looked into a hat with a stone, but used a umm in and Thur in?
Looking at the evidence even from far away it’s hard to believe anyone would believe Joesph anymore
He did have eleven witnesses that saw the plates. All of them went to their death beds claiming they saw what they said the saw.
This is cool. Both dudes seem like there Heaven bound.
Here's an idea teach the full story in Sunday school! You meet for two hours every Sunday and have home teachers and seminary. So yeah if someone grew up in the church and is not knowing about this then partly it's their fault but also the church's fault too for not teaching these insane doctrines and history.
Mental Gymnastics level 10
Not unique to Moronism😉

Apologists? BS!
Daniel loves to hear himself speak to himself in the echo chamber that is his myopic universe. Confirmation bias at it's finest. Talk about Stockholm Syndrome.
BYU pays his salary. Thus his Mormon BS.
That is such a dumb idea. BYU actually refuses to grant raises based on Mormon apologetics. There was a big controversy about this a few years ago with a professor there named William Hamblin who complained that BYU administration was discouraging Mormon apologetics and studies.
Grow up, dude. Sometimes people just have different ways of seeing things. BTW, I'm not LDS.
