contention

The prevalence of a spirit of contention amongst a people is a certain sign of deadness with respect to the things of religion. When men's spirits are hot with contention, they are cold to religion. - Jonathan Edwards “The Book of Mormon does not supplant the Bible. It expands, extends, clarifies, and amplifies our knowledge of the Savior. Surely, this second witness should be cause for great rejoicing by all Christians.” - Joseph B. Wirthlin

Mormon book reviews on youtube

The November MOBOM newsletter went out on last week. (If you didn't see it, check your "promotions" email on gmail. Send any questions to mobominfo@gmail.com.)

The newsletter included a link to the Youtube channel "Mormon Book Reviews," in which evangelical Steven Pynakker interviews a variety of interesting people who have "multiple working hypotheses" on several topics related to the Book of Mormon. 

This is the type of project that can lead to harmonious understanding of one another. Steven is building bridges among groups that rarely communicated with one another. These are the conversations that foster harmony and unity.

Unlike many hosts of youtube channels that discuss the Book of Mormon, Steven is not pushing an agenda other than letting people explain their beliefs.

Sample interviews:
