The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has recently responded to some of the biggest challenges to the truth of their faith. This includes the plural wives of Joseph Smith, the book of Abraham, DNA studies, and more. In this interview, Sean talks with Eric Johnson, of the Mormonism Research Ministry, about their responses. This interview first aired on Sean's YouTube channel, which is in partnership with the Talbot Apologetics program. We hope you enjoy this in-depth look at some of the historical, scientific, and theological challenges facing the LDS Church today.
