Summary

This episode was referenced in Moroni Part 5 and so we wanted to make it easier to find by dropping it as a bonus episode. We hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. During the Christmas season, believers talk more about angels than they usually do. Latter-day Saints might not know just how radically different their understanding of angels is from the beliefs of other Christians. Joseph Smith received many revelations that provided a new understanding of angels. The article referenced in the episode is called ”The Development of Winged Angels in Early Christian Art” by Dr. Therese Martin and the link is below: https://digital.csic.es/bitstream/10261/17726/1/eserv.pdf If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: [email protected]
