Summary
Ā
On this episode, we take a look at the Spalding theory as the source text for the Book of Mormon. The Spalding theory has been stuck in the margins of Mormon history for quite some time. Well, we try to rip it out of the margins, and into the spotlight for critical examination, and a fair trial in the court of historical possibilities. There's a lot of information to cover, and a lot of conjecture to answer to, but the evidence seems to be there, to support the claims of the theory. Does it seem plausible to you?

| 1:41.5 | that wanted to spread the good word of Jesus to all the world. |
| 1:44.9 | He was one of the best preachers around, which kind of landed him a spotlight as a pastor of the biggest Baptist church in Pittsburgh. |
| 1:53.1 | After getting muscle out of his position by a faceless Scottish Baptist divine, Rigdon worked as a tanner, |
| 1:59.4 | while occasionally preaching at various churches |
