How Joseph Smith Translated the Book of Mormon
Episode 4
Saturday, 25 January, 2025
In this episode of Religion Today, host Martin Tanner describes from the original, primary sources, how Joseph Smith likely translated the Book of Mormon. Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, David Whitmer and others speculated that Joseph Smith saw words or letters in his seer stone or in the Nephite Interpreters. This cannot be true, because Joseph Smith made revisions to the completed manuscript, which he would never have done if the words were God's alone. Joseph Smith told Joseph Knight that he "could see anything" in the Nephite Interpreters. This implies Joseph Smith could literally see the events in the Book of Mormon text, along with emotions, untranslated words, clothing, animals, buildings, way of life, and other details of Nephite life in the Nephite Interpreters.
