deseretgov Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Well I dont know if it mentions it in the Book of Mormon.

KerryShirts Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Heh.... speaking of the Urim & Thummim, have you read Cornelis Van Dam's Doctoral Thesis on this? Here is my rather extensive review of his book, which absolutely had me up late nights for WEEKS on end! Absolutely sensational reading!Cornelis Van Dam's excellent new book on the Urim & Thummim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not thought on that angle before....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
