@CapturingChristianity will be discussing Joseph Smith's prophecies (alongside those of Muhammad's) at 6pm MST on David Wood's channel. Hopefully Cameron will show knowledge of LDS apologetics and scholarship on JS's prophecies (and perhaps he will take some of these into consideration between then if he ever reads this), but here are some good resources:

Question for LDS book nerds, etc. How much would a copy of the 1964 ed. of Mormonism: Shadow or Reality? by the Tanners go for? I have seen copies of MSOR (usually the 5th ed. [1987]) go for $100+, so curious if anyone knows (I just received a 1964 ed. that is in very good condition.
Ditto for the 1972 (3rd ed.) and 1982 (4th ed), too.

I will be moving back (for a few months at least, but hopefully not permanently) to Ireland in late October. I will be working 9-5 Utah hours (read: 4 to midnight Irish time), so I hope to continue on my "down time" to do my own work/research/livestreaming/podcasting, etc. (I usually get up at 6am, so will have a lot of time to spare).
I did set up a new Patreon if you wish to sponsor my work on Latter-day Saint issues. Thanks!

Will be attending the FAIR Conference tomorrow and Friday, so hopefully will meet some of you who follow the blog and/or YT channel.
I will be doing a "prepisode" for my forthcoming (August 25) debate on whether the New Testament teaches Modalism this Sunday *ALTHOUGH* I might do a 'live reaction' to my friend Zachary Wright's recent interaction with Evangelical Kelly Powers instead (and/or on Saturday).
