The Words of Joseph Smith, and a Little More Mouw
May 10, 2005 Posted by Roger Overton
Last weekend the Library of Congress hosted a conference sponsored by BYU entitled “The Words of Joseph Smith.”
“Recognizing Joseph Smith's bicentennial, the conference examined his
historical, religious, social, and theological contributions.”
Participating in the conference were a good number of the most
prominent Mormon and non-Mormon scholars.
LDS.org
will be posting the audio and video of five of the main sessions
this week. Unfortunately, it appears they'll only be archiving some of
the Mormon presenters. I was hoping to watch Dr. Mouw, Jan Shipps, and
a few others.
Fortunately, Dr. Mouw has graciously passed along a transcript of his presentation.
For what it's worth, I think he has some good things to say in this
address. I'm a bit uncomfortable with some of the lines at the end, but
overall I appreciate Dr. Mouw's contribution.

Thanks, I recently saw that. I think when they originally posted it they only put the session titles (so it looked like it didn't carry all of the presenters), but now they have all of the presenters listed uner each session. I still haven't had a chance to watch them, but it's good to have the reminder
