This week's guest is Richard Bushman, who is simply one of the most important scholarly voices ever in the Latter-day Saint tradition.Of course, Richard has been interviewed many times over the years, and we wanted to make sure that we covered new ground while asking for his perspective on some of the questions that have propelled and perplexed us throughout our faith journey.So in this very wide-ranging conversation, Richard spoke about his own early journey from agnosticism to faith; why learning history, and learning from history, are so important; the revelatory process, including his experience giving many patriarchal blessings; the legacy of Rough Stone Rolling, and even why he wants to live in a world where there could be such a thing as gold plates.Richard received his AM, AB, and PhD in the history of American civilization from Harvard University. Through the years he has taught at Harvard, BYU, Boston University, the University of Delaware, and Columbia. He married his wife, Claudia Lauper Bushman, in August 1955, and together they have four sons and two daughters. He's written many books, including, of course, Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling, which has been called “the crowning achievement of the new Mormon history.” Richard served a mission New England and Atlantic Canada, and his Church callings over the years include seminary teacher, bishop, stake president, and stake patriarch.Richard is also the co-founder and Chairman of Center for Latter-day Saint Arts, a project that is incredibly important to him; you'll hear him discuss in the episode why he believes that art is the next frontier for the Church, and why he's so excited about what's to come. The Center will be having a large festival in 2024; to stay up to date with that project or to donate, head to centerforlatterdaysaintarts.org.

In this Part 2 of 3, we return to Jeff & Larissa's story. Now married, Larissa gives up her University Studies to help Jeff through Med school. They share their struggles with infertility, the adoption process, and adopting black children as orthodox Mormons.   Larissa faces difficulties in early motherhood and building resentment as they settle into traditional LDS gender roles. Larissa feels she is losing herself wrapped up in her husband's life, while at the same time trying to silence that part of her that is unhappy, seeing it as "wrong."   Larissa is called as a RS President, even as she becomes more vocally progressive/feminist and has hope for the Church to change, but it doesn't last.   Jeff realizes the Gospel can't fix Larissa's unhappiness as the root cause is Patriarchy. He serves in Bishoprics for 7 years before discovering more about Church history from the CES Letter, and Rough Stone Rolling, with the Gospel Topics Essays being the final straw.   Jeff & Larissa finally recognize the level of harm of systemic racism & sexism in Mormonism and no longer wish to be a part of it.   Episode Show Notes Mormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!

It's getting hot in Smith's studio and he claims that sitting on cold rice can help. Joe does a little fact-checking on a supposed JS quote. The guys also mistake where the “save Jesus only” quote is, but they figure it out eventually. The guys aren't sure whether the JS quote really came from him or not. Smith reminds the listener that if they disagree with him, they're probably disagreeing with God too. Smith recaps how he feels about re-reading Rough Stone Rolling. Joe watched the Netflix Kanye West documentary (Jeen-Yuhs, 2022). He liked the documentary, but he's still a little triggered by people who take their religion too seriously. The guys mention that one big difference between polyamory and LDS polygamy is consent. Smith reminisces about the JFS story where he's “true blue through and through”. The guys are still not happy about Rusty's flex to move away from Mormon as a nickname. The church continues to double-down on anti LGBTQIA policies while stating otherwise. Joe tells a story about his MTC companion who disapproved of missionaries building a snowman.  Smith reads a facetious tweet from a facetious twitter account about black people keeping their first estate. The guys try out what it's like to sing praises to God for eternity in the CK. It's been a long time since Joe has seen Mannequin (1987) and Smith has never seen it. Joe had to do some explaining after watching some Dave Chappelle standup with his son who identifies as gay. Smith reads a quote from Rusty about God's love not being unconditional which makes Joe angry. Smith eases the tension with a sacred hymn. The guys recap some HP characters including, Henry Porter, Horgrid, Dumbledorf, and Professor McGillicuddy. The God of the BOM is a God of conditional love. The guys decide they need more sh*t to talk about HBE. Both Joe and Smith were taught that poligamy will exist in the afterlife. It takes almost an hour before the guys start reading in this one. Sam has a conversation with Lehi about not wanting to have to hang out with Nephi after Lehi dies. Joe gets excited thinking about Nephi repenting of being such an a**hole to his brothers.  Smith teases everyone with some droop talk. He casts Zoram out of their presence. Joe thinks the BOM could use 80% more of some of the messages here. Is Nephi talking about building a Frankenstein? Why does the cadence change so much?

Welcome to the Season 2 premiere of my Book Review series! One of the most important books ever written about Mormonism and Joseph Smith, Richard Bushman's "Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling" is reviewed by Evangelical Steven Pynakker. In this episode Steven gives his personal insights of the book and compares and contrasts it with Fawn Brodie's "No Man Know My History" and Dan Vogel's "Pious Fraud" hypothesis. He also gives some background on how he was able to get Dr. Bushman to be a guest on his program.Link to Purchase BookLink to support my channel via Patreon

Steven Pynakker has a unique and wide ranging conversation with one of the most renowned historians of Mormonism, Dan Vogel. This is the first time that an Evangelical has interviewed Dan. Author of many important works on early Mormonism, Joseph Smith, and now the Book of Abraham. We discuss his background and how a Pentecostal minister in England told Dan of Jerald and Sandra Tanner and a narrative of Mormon history that he was unaware of that set Dan on his journey. We also discuss a Presbyterian minister who was an important supporter, patron, and friend to him. The conversation includes topics like the early treasure digging days of young Joseph, the Mound Builder myths common during this time, how the spectacles entered the narrative early on, using the seer stone to partially translate the Book of Abraham, his next book focusing on the 1831-1839 period in Joseph's life, and why Dan advocates a hemispheric model narrative for Book of Mormon geography. We then talk about Richard Bushman and his book Rough Stone Rolling, Fawn Brodie's No Man Know My History, and him giving the introduction speech for for famed Jacksonian historian Robert Remini at the Mormon History Association. This was a fantastic interview and I look forward to having Dan on back soon to discuss his upcoming new YouTube series!Link to purchase his latest bookLink to Dan's YouTube ChannelLink to our Patreon PageLink to M.T.

Steven Pynakker interviews fellow Evangelicals Paul Nurnberg and Matthew Eklund. They are the hosts of the Podcast "Outer Brightness". Both were faithful LDS and they served successful overseas missions. I like their podcast because it is both an outreach to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a forum for open, civil dialogue. This is a bit of a prelude to the 2 part interview of me on their podcast. In this episode we discuss their time in the LDS Church, leaving Mormonism, and the history of their podcast. We then conclude with a lively book discussion of Richard Bushman's "Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling". When the 2 part interview of "yours truly" is posted I will provide a link here in the description.Here is a link to Part 1: https://www.outerbrightnesspodcast.co...

The Backyard Professor in todays episode is refuting the Joseph Smith Foundation debunking of Richard Bushman's Rough Stone Rolling. Joseph Smith in fact did search for buried treasure.

In a wide-ranging interview published in Sunday’s Salt Lake Tribune, revered Mormon historian Richard Bushman, author of the acclaimed Joseph Smith biography “Rough Stone Rolling,” talked at length about his childhood in Oregon, his mission in New England and his education at Harvard, where he wrestled with his faith in God. He also discussed the mystery of the gold plates, from which the Book of Mormon sprang, his understanding of truth, and his perspectives on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — its past, present and future. Bushman discusses those topics and more on this week’s podcast.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are studying the Book of Mormon this year. This has focused renewed attention on the faith’s signature scripture and how it came to be — with stories of angels and gold plates and rocks called “seer stones.” Discussing the text’s origins is Richard Bushman, author of the highly acclaimed Joseph Smith biography, “Rough Stone Rolling.” He is working on a book about the gold plates, which Latter-day Saints believe tell the religious history of peoples in the ancient Americas and which Smith said he translated into English. That translation now is known as the Book of Mormon.

Have you struggled to figure out what to do with the new Ministering program in the LDS Church? Kurt Francom of the Leading Saints Podcast gives ideas on how to approach this.  I asked him how to handle both faithful & faithless members! https://youtu.be/1UsnTO8sUgQ Kurt: Go over there and just ask the simple question of "How would you like to be ministered to? Do you want us to come over a quarterly, monthly?" Where I know my father, he really appreciates the ministry brothers that just stopped by for a good conversation once a month and that really helps him. That's how he's ministered to. So the best thing we could do as ministering brothers and sisters, just set an appointment, go over and ask them the question, how would you like to be ministered to? And if someone asked that to me, I would say, well, I'm say hi to me at church. If you see me at church where you sit by me, I'd love that, you know, but I don't need a home visit. He also tells how he handled his Second Counselor in the bishopric losing his faith and leaving the church. Kurt: And it all began for him after he returned from his mission. He went through college and then he went back to law school and he was in law school at Brigham Young University of all places where in his religion course it was required reading to read Rough Stone Rolling the famous book by Richard Bushman, right? Which obviously is written from the faithful perspective since Richard Bushman is a faithful Latter-day Saint. But certain facts and historical concerns came to the surface for him that he had never considered. And then suddenly the understanding that he had about the church was disrupted. Right? And this is, I think, a familiar story for a lot of people who've had maybe had loved ones who've gone through a stage of faith or a state of doubt. And so, we talked openly about these things. I encouraged him. You know, I tried to be as empathetic as possible and I think, all things considered, I think as a bishop I handled that pretty well.... And, he later did remove his name from the church. And I thought, "Man! I thought we were--I thought I was steadying the ark a little bit and helping you understand that, you know, we can get through this." But you know, that was a decision that he made and we still have a great relationship. Find out more by checking out our conversation...  Don't forget to check out part 1! Kurt Francom gives advice on the new Ministering program for both faithful & faithless members.

We're continuing our discussions with Dr. Newell Bringhurst.  In our next conversation, we'll continue to talk about polygamy.  We'll talk about Todd Compton's book, In Sacred Loneliness, a biography of Joseph Smith's plural wives. https://youtu.be/EZ-2eW_8kn0 Newell:  Todd Compton's is mainly a biographical, collective biography of the wives themselves.  It doesn't get into as much of Joseph Smith interacting or justifying polygamy and all of that.  So I think Todd Compton's is the best as far as giving us a feeling of who the wives were and how they reacted to Joseph Smith and polygamy and their subsequent activities after Joseph Smith's martyrdom. We'll also talk about what Bringhurst thinks of Richard Bushman's book, Rough Stone Rolling and its treatment of Joseph's polygamy. Newell: One of the weaknesses, glaring weaknesses I saw in Richard Bushman's Rough Stone Rolling was he kind of slighted Joseph Smith's involvement with polygamy.  I found that one of the most disappointing parts of his Rough Stone Rolling.  He kind of slights—he doesn't even really acknowledge some of the wives that Joseph married and the relationship and the work that was done by Todd Compton. We'll also talk about some early rumors about polygamy in Nauvoo, and we'll get Newell's opinion on that.  Don't forget to check our previous conversation with Newell on polygamy!  Check out our conversation…..
