Did He Plagiarize It? Joseph Smith, Ethan Smith, and View of the Hebrews

Did Joseph Smith copy the Book of Mormon from View of the Hebrews by Ethan Smith? In this episode, we examine one of the most common critical claims about the Book of Mormon’s origins and ask whether the evidence really holds up. We break down what View of the Hebrews actually is, why critics compare it to the Book of Mormon, where the plagiarism theory came from, and whether the supposed parallels are truly compelling. We also look at issues like Oliver Cowdery, Ethan Smith, B.H. Roberts, Fawn Brodie, the CES Letter claims, and whether there is any real evidence of direct borrowing. If you’ve heard the claim that Joseph Smith copied from View of the Hebrews, this episode gives historical context, textual analysis, and a clear response to one of the most repeated arguments against the Book of Mormon. ===Informed Saints Credits=== Produced by The Ancient America Foundation Producer: Spencer Clark Hosts: Stephen Smoot, Neal Rappleye, Jasmin Rappleye Chapters: 0:00 Intro - Who is Ethan Smith? 4:30 What is View of the Hebrews? 7:32 Hebraic Indian Theory 10:16 History of the Controversy 14:29 16:25 Parallels with the Book of Mormon 20:59 Categories of Parallelomania 26:39 Did Joseph Smith have any connection to VotH? 31:18 Conspiracies about Oliver Cowdery 36:01 How have Latter-day Saints responded? 39:17 Conclusion - Debunking the theory Show Notes and Further Sources: https://mormonr.org/qnas/vFzgdj/the_b... https://archive.org/details/adisserta... https://bhroberts.org/records/0rGxg3-... https://bhroberts.org/records/8Lyyfk-... https://mormonr.org/qnas/sk58P/b_h_ro... https://bhroberts.org/records/8Lyyfk-... https://bhroberts.org/records/jpNwrg-... https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/byusq... https://scripturecentral.org/archive/... https://scripturecentral.org/archive/... https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-co... https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/v... https://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/digital... https://bhroberts.org/records/jpNwrg-... https://rsc.byu.edu/book/view-hebrews ===Discover=== If any of our thoughts resonated with you, consider learning more about the single most influential book in our lives. https://www.discoverbookofmormon.org/ ===Content Disclaimer=== The views expressed represent ours alone and do not necessarily reflect the official position of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. #BookOfMormon #ViewOfTheHebrews #JosephSmith #LDS #Mormon #BookOfMormonEvidence #Apologetics #ChurchHistory #Restoration #EthanSmith #CESLetter #ReligiousDebate #ScriptureStudy #FaithAndReason #InformedSaints
