Mormon Stories #1342: Did B.H. Roberts Lose His Testimony of the Book of Mormon? w/ Shannon Montez

Please join us for our 2nd sit-down with historian Shannon Caldwell Montez, author of the Master's thesis "The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922."

Description: As many of you will recall, Shannon joined us on Mormon Stories Podcast in July, 2020 to tell us her own story, as well as to tell us the story of B.H. Roberts - the LDS Church historian and General Authority who was tasked to answer problems about Book of Mormon historicity, only to lose his testimony of the Book of Mormon as a historical document.

During the B.H. Roberts episode we learned about a series of all-day meetings B.H. Roberts had in January, 1922 with the LDS Church First Presidency, Quorum of 12 Apostles, and the Quorum of 70 to discuss in-depth these Book of Mormon problems. Ultimately, Shannon shows in her thesis that the LDS church leadership was both unprepared and unwilling to address the problems Roberts presented - resulting in much disappointment and frustration for Roberts.

In this follow-up interview with Shannon, we review evidence regarding whether or not Mormon General Authority and church historian B.H. Roberts lost his testimony of the Book of Mormon as a historical document.
