Host Martin Tanner describes the implications of ancient words and phrases in The Book of Mormon. He describes how certain words and phrases show Joseph Smith's influence, while others show God's had tight control over the translation process. No one has devised an explanation for the Book of Mormon translation process, which explains all of the evidence.

In this Religion Today episode, host Martin Tanner explains that we know about the contents of the Lost 116 Pages of the Book of Mormon, which is a surprisingly large amount. Martin explains why it is unlikely that Lucy Harris took or destroyed the lost 116 pages. He also explain the sources for what we know about the contents of the lost Book of Lehi and other details about the 116 Page.
