How do faith and reason relate to the Prophet Joseph Smith? Michael Ash, well-known LDS apologist, explains why it s useful and perhaps necessary to have both in your testimony of Joseph Smith. In the early 1800s, many criticized Joseph for his prophecies and revelations. Today, several evidences prove that Joseph was right. Using scholarly journal articles and ancient Jewish and Christian writings, Michael Ash shows how the Book of Mormon is a true account of an ancient people, how LDS scriptures are consistent with the traditions and culture of ancient Israel, and how the doctrines of the Church accurately reflect the teachings of Christ.
