Sometimes people say âAll right, name your single best evidence for the Book of Mormonâ or âName the three absolute proofs for the Book of Mormon.â âI donât believe there are any such things...even if we found a stela in Central America that said, âI, Nephi, was hereâ people would still find a way to get around that."

An Interview with the Author: ‘A Global History of Blacks and Mormonism’
Engaging Mormonism and race is not an issue confined to the past; it is of immediate relevance to Mormon engagements in African and African diaspora communities throughout the world.

As the Bible says, âCome, let us reason togetherâ.
How Important is it to Know the True Nature of God?
I confess that in some respects I believe in a âdifferent Jesusâ from that of many of my dear friends who are part of the Protestant and Catholic âflavorsâ of Christianity.
