The more carefully one studies the production process of the Book of Mormon, the more interesting the questions become. For example, since Joseph Smith never could read the original base language engraven on the plates, what did he mean when he said he “translated” the Book of Mormon? And was his translation best characterized as a “tight” translation, a “loose” translation, or something else entirely? And if the Book of Mormon was translated correctly the first time, why did Joseph Smith make changes and adjustments to the text for subsequent editions years later? Also, did Joseph translate with one seer stone or two? And just how common was seer stone use in New England in Joseph Smith's day? And when did their use die off in both US and Church culture? In this episode of Church History Matters Scott and Casey sit down with Dr. Michael MacKay, one of the world's foremost scholars on Seer Stones and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, to discuss these and other great questions.

Dr. Michael MacKay reminds us that every human being has already chosen the Savior.

Russell Stevenson interviews Dr. Michael Mackay about the use of seer stones in the Book of Mormon translation process. Some may not realize that Joseph continued to use seer stones after the Book of Mormon was translated. He used them while translating the Bible, when dictating revelations, and even when giving patriarchal blessings. After his death, Joseph's stones were passed down to succeeding presidents of the church and looked upon as sacred relics. Dr. Mackay discusses how the seer stones were not simply a tool to give Joseph confidence to translate; they represent something much more significant.
