Conference Talks: Moses 6–7 and the Book of Giants Remarkable Witnesses of Enoch’s Ministry

Jeffrey M. Bradshaw

Jeffrey M. Bradshaw spoke at the 2021 Tracing Ancient Threads in the Book of Moses Conference on Saturday, April 24, 2021 on “Moses 6–7 and the Book of Giants Remarkable Witnesses of Enoch’s Ministry”.

The Latter-day Saint story of Enoch has been called the “most remarkable religious document published in the nineteenth century.” There are a variety of different explanations for how such a novel, expansive, and coherent work purporting to be a true account of ancient historical figures could have been produced by a relatively unschooled translator in such a short amount of time. In the present study, our primary interest is in comparing Moses 6–7 with the Book of Giants, an ancient source unknown in 1830, in support of arguments that the Prophet translated through a process that was dependent on divine revelation.

All of the conference presentations were filmed, and both video and audio recordings of each presentation are available.
