John Dehlin argues that the Nahom argument is not a strong or credible piece of evidence for the historicity of the Book of Mormon.

“For me, the question is is how viable or not viable is the Nahome argument as a support for Book of Mormon historicity?”

Kolby Reddish asserts that the Book of Mormon must be historically accurate for him to believe in its truthfulness.

“in my view, the Book of Mormon does, at least for me, I I understand people are going to weigh these things differently, but for me, the Book of Mormon does need to be historical to believe in it because it makes very specific claims about the way reality works”
