Counterfeiting Scholarship Part 1
Podcast: Standard of TruthPublished On: Thu Oct 27 2022
Description: We received a question from a listener about a self-published anti-Mormon book and we again examine why using real sources matters. We talk about the difference between a person who likes history and a historian. Example: Richard likes history (not really, but for the purpose of this example we will say that he does). Dr. Dirkmaat is a historian. We also discuss the problem with self-publishing books and making arguments that no one else is making. We show an example from Church history on how mistakes can be made by well-meaning people where Emma is said to have lost a child when she only had a chill. The references are below: Original Journal Entry "Sister Emma sick had another chill had a consultation concerning her with secretary" History of Church 1838-1856 “Wife Emma sick, she was delivered of a Son, which did not survive its birth” Please visit our website at www.standardoftruth.com If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com
