In the last five years it has become extremely popular for people to say that part of Joseph Smith’s Translation of the Bible is copied form Adam Clarke’s biblical commentaries. This argument is ultimately based on the work of a single paper that emerged in 2020. In this article we examine the evidence for this argument and, using the excellent work of Dr. Kent P.

LDS Movie Reviews: Wonder Woman 1984
Having recently seen Wonder “Woman 1984,” I thought I would write a review that I know is unique among all its critics. In addition to offering up a synopsis of the movie and its events I also explore the morals and values within the movie itself. I look for and try to draw out Gospel teachings and principles or morality and righteousness that it contains and which we might seek to enact in our own lives. There is a lot to really love about this movie, not the least of which is how it treats its characters, its themes of loss and redemption, and how even the most wicked deserve love and are worthy of being saved. The movie is not only fun, but it has meaning and ideals that made it worth my time and money.
