Hi and welcome to another episode of the Standard of Truth podcast. I'm Garrett's friend,

Professor Richard Leduc. In this episode, we're going to re-release a Joseph Smith and the Restoration

episode that came out in May of 2023. The discussion in this episode is around the formation

of the New Testament. And so we're going to talk about how things became

heresies and apocryphal and how things became canon. And for some reason, we're also going to

talk about Ross Perot voters from 1992. We hope you like this episode and thank you so much for listening.

Welcome to Joseph Smith and the Restoration, a standard of truth podcast production.

In this podcast, host Dr. Garrett Dirkmont and Professor Richard Leduc will discuss the events of the restoration in the order they occurred.

Listeners will follow Joseph Smith as he rises from the obscurity of a poor farm boy

to the prophet of the restoration.

They will learn of the trials and triumphs, the miracles and misery of Joseph Smith and early

members of the church.

Hi, welcome to another episode of Joseph Smith and the Restoration, a Standard of Truth podcast production.

I'm your host, Dr. Garrett Dirkmont, and I'm joined by my friend Professor Richard

Leduc.

For the past several episodes of Joseph Smith and the Restoration, we've talked about

different councils that have occurred as the early members of the Christian church try to define the nature of Jesus.

And in this episode, we are going to jump around a little bit as we talk about how we got

the canon of scripture that we have.

Yeah, especially given the fact that, you know, even though,

um, even though we have these councils, remember as we left off, uh, things were not entirely settled.
