Terryl Givens: What is the Book of Abraham?

I have to see his apologetic's are far far more tenable then the efforts put forward by John Gee and his disciples, though, that said one has to wonder how many more steps one takes from not believing the BoA was translated from the papyri and facsimiles (and essentially written from his mind).

To not believing other things produced from the same individual.

That said I think it is fantastic that parts of the the church (atleast the organisation that employed Terryl) is evolving into a big tent welcoming people from a more nuanced belief spectrum then just the orthodox. Because it could have just as equally doubled down and employed someone has impressive as Mr Gee or Mr Smoot.
