Hebrew Voices #194 – Pious Fraud

August 7, 2024

In this episode of Hebrew Voices #194 - Pious Fraud, Nehemia and Dan Vogel discuss a shared concept in early Mormonism and rabbinical Judaism about lying for the Lord, what biblical studies can learn from Mormon history, and the dangers of the “idealist” fallacy.

I look forward to reading your comments!

The masons not being judges in the UK is a contentious issue. Officially as of a few years ago they no longer require a declaration on membership for applications to the judiciary.
