| SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine and Covenants 13:1 |
|
Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness.

| QUOTE OF THE DAY Joseph Smith |
|
“Our missionaries are going forth to different nations . . . the Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, p. 444).

A Man that Can Translate: Joseph Smith and the Nephite Interpreters by Jonathan Neville MS, JD
NEW and EXPANDED from the original edition (July 2021) with a new Appendix reviewing Rough Stone Rolling and other new content. The book has over 400 footnotes and careful analysis of the historical evidence. This is the first book to explain the new "demonstration" narrative, which reconciles the stone-in-the-hat (SITH) testimony with the Urim and Thummim testimony. The evidence shows that while Joseph Smith translated the golden plates with the Urim and Thummim, he also conducted a demonstration for his supporters in the Whitmer home in Fayette. These separate activities led to the variety of witness statements that have caused so much confusion over the years. The demonstration narrative makes sense of all the available historical evidence in a way that corroborates the long-term teachings of the prophets about the translation.
