MAIn this installment brother Ash discuss why most LDS scholars believe that ancient Mesoamerica was the home for most Book of Mormon events.

As Mesoamerican ethnohistory specialist Brant Gardner explains, it’s not a single thing but and accumulation and convergence of many different things that strengthen the case for a Mesoamerican geography.

The full text of this article can be found at Deseret News online.

Brother Ash is author of the book Shaken Faith Syndrome: Strengthening One’s Testimony in the Face of Criticism and Doubt, as well as the book, of Faith and Reason: 80 Evidences Supporting the Prophet Joseph Smith. Both books are available for purchase online through the FairMormon Bookstore. Tell your friends about the Mormon Fair-Cast.

    Just a pronunciation tip for the podcast version of this, Brother Ned.

    The “Isthmus of Tehuantepec” ends with the syllable pronounced “peck” rather than “tech.”

    Thank you for reading these for the podcast so I can listen on my commute!

    Readers might be interested in a recent translation of the Caractors document that also provides support for a Mesoamerican location for the Book of Mormon. A free electronic copy of the book (and also the book Geology of the Book of Mormon are available there. http://www.bookofmormoncaractorstranslation.com
