In today's episode I interview scholar Brant Gardner, and we respond to the episodes of Dr John Lundwall on Mormonish and Mormonism Live podcasts. John Lundwall states that the BOM is demonstrably non-historical because it claims to be written by a literate society keeping historical records, while the Mesoamerican people were primarily oral or secondarily oral.
