The Gospels are a collection of four distinct texts, and historical accuracy is better supported when stories are independently attested across multiple accounts.

“But if you've got stories that are independently attested in every single one of them, especially if you've got other reasons to think that they wouldn't be made up, it's a good reason to think that they're historically true.”

The Book of Mormon's reliance on brass plates as an ancient form of codex is historically anachronistic.

“the technology that is required for the story to be historical the church acknowledges did not exist in the time period it needed to exist for the story to be historical period.”
