Feedback on "Gospel Hobbies"

[BookofMormonArchaeologicalForum]

We have received such an enormous response to Larry Barkdull's article, The Dangers of Gospel Hobbies, that we thought you may want to recommend it to your friends and family.

Typical of the responses we have received is this from Douglas Kiester:

Larry Barksdull’s article on gospel hobbies is long overdue and makes the point extremely well.  I have spent many hours over many years studying the Book of Mormon text trying to get clues as to the land he is describing, but I have always been deeply bothered by the contention in the church over these issues.   Such contention among Christ’s people toward each other is never worthy.

 

Here, here, and thank you for publishing this timely message.
