First Episode: The Historical Jesus
Friends of other faiths have accused Mormons of not being Christians because we “believe in a different Jesus.” Who was the historical Jesus; why do Mormons see Him a bit differently than do other Christians?
Thomas A. Wayment discusses the subject and answers these questions in LDS Perspectives’ first podcast. Dr. Wayment is a professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University. He is also involved in studying the manuscript tradition of the New Testament and what light it sheds on modern revelations, such as the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible.
