The Incommensurability of Translation
Michael Hubbard MacKay
August 2022
How did Joseph Smith translate the Book of Mormon? Joseph鈥檚 brief answer was 鈥渂y the gift and power of God,鈥 sometimes adding that it was done by means of 鈥淯rim and Thummim.鈥 Some have asked why Joseph Smith didn鈥檛 give more specific details about the process. In this enlightening episode, translation scholar Dr. Michael Hubbard MacKay discusses his research on the 鈥渋ncommensurability鈥 of Joseph Smith鈥檚 divine translation work and why it gives insight into expressions of religious truth and experience.
