THANKS TO MORMON WAR (THE BLOG, NOT THE CONCEPT)
May 25, 2009 at 4:31 PM 3 comments
Over at Mormon Heretic I made a suggestion about interpreting numbers in military units (like the Sons of Helaman). Initially skeptical, Morgan Deane at Mormon War issued a post this weekend more supportine of the idea.
Morgan also is looking to put together a conference of scholars with interest in the study of what military history can tell us about interpreting the teachings of the Book of Mormon. I urge my “myriads” of readers to look at his post Myriads of Soldiers (linked above) and the other insights he offers on his site. If you are a student of the Book of Mormon, Morgan will suggest some background you may never have suspected might be present.

When I read your headline, I thought you were talking about the Mormon War of 1838 which I just blogged about. 🙂
