How about scholars that are not a part of some type of vanity-press?

You'll have to explain that one to me - I don't get the insult.

Their Mission Statement:

The Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship exists to
* Describe and defend the Restoration through highest quality scholarship
* Provide critically edited, primary resources (ancient religious texts) to scholars and lay persons around the world
* Build bridges of understanding and goodwill to Muslim scholars by providing superior editions of primary texts
* Provide an anchor of faith in a sea of LDS Studies

There were alot of people that said Jesus Christ wasn't who he said he was.....

A vanity press is a press that publishes something at the owners expense. The term is often used derogatorily to mean that the published work couldn't become successful on it's own merits.

Obviously what you know but the other poster does not, some of the world's top scholars in their fields - non-lds, publish with FAMRS or BYU STUDIES.

[Dale]

A lot of unbelieving scholars don't acknowledge the Book of Mormon as historical. They see the book based on a number of technical objections as not fitting into Meso-America. But believing scholars who are aware of the objections believe in the book because they don't find Book of Mormon objections based on archeology,ect unquestionable. And they have their own personal evidences based on their studies that the book is true.

I'd like to get you to get all scholars to agree on any topic, there is no such thing as an unbiased scholar or academic. I remember writing a daft report at university on whether or not Lord Hastings died 3 days before the standard records say he did - I mean the woman had a good point it did raise questions, but was it really that important anyway jist of the debate was the side with biggest number of heavyweights on it won the debate despite the fact that really both side had good points. With many academic subjects the old guard need to die off or retire and time needs to elapse for ideas to become mainstream either that or become accepted.

This why for me Heavenly Father knocks socks of any academic He actually knows things that are pertinent to my eternal life and can teach me - therefore if I pray and ask is the Book of Mormon what He wants me to know then its good and wise to take it and read it. It won't do my mortal or eternal life any harm right now to take it as historically accurate but it doesn't matter if it is what does matter is that Heavenly Father wants me to know it. Nothing confirmed that for me more than my rather brief academic career.

He is certainly respected among Mayan researchers and is also an active Latter Day Saint. I could list others who are recognized in their fields by the non LDS research community. I am personnaly recognized as a scholar in the field of drug metabolism and toxicology and am a firm believer in the Book of Mormon. President Eyring's father was a world renowned Chemist who pioneered the field of modern chemical Kinetics and his work plays a significant part of any modern book on chemical kinetics. He was always an active member of the Church and had a firm testimony of the Book of Mormon as does his son.

Are you Doctor Lawrence [Larry] Poulsen who taught at the University of Texas?

Kudos...

We can have all the claimed knowledge from our academia training and still be corrected on various subjects that pertain to our own salvation. I have been embarrassed at times with a subject and later corrected [from a higher source].
