The Book of Mormon in Light of a Tibetan Buddhist Parallel: Interview with Tanner Davidson McAlister

Join Dialogue Editor Taylor Petrey as he interviews Tanner Davidson McAlister about his article, “The Production of the Book of Mormon in Light of a Tibetan Buddhist Parallel” for our 39th episode of Dialogue Out Loud.

McAlister references the Tibetan Buddhist scripture known as “gter ma” to explore existing theories about the relationship between the gold plates Joseph Smith claimed to discover, and his resulting “translation” of those ancient records into the Book of Mormon in “The Production of the Book of Mormon in Light of a Tibetan Buddhist Parallel.” #dialoguejournal #mormonthought Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought is an independent quarterly established to express Mormon culture and to examine the relevance of religion to secular life.
