Sandra participates in a round-table critique of recent LDS essays about Joseph Smith’s translation efforts, his legacy of polygamy, and his personal character.

Sandra shares her experiences (with late husband, Jerald), uncovering ‘hidden history’ of the LDS church, being confronted by angry leaders, and initially joining one of the Mormon splinter groups, the Church of Christ. This series follows the early part of the Tanners’ biography, “Lighthouse: Jerald and Sandra Tanner – Despised and Beloved Critics of Mormonism.”

Sandra Tanner speaks about the different Mormon fundamentalist leaders whom she has experienced through her years of ministry.

Hear how Jerald and Sandra Tanner’s research during the 60s and 70s grappled with some of Mormonism’s most important problems, such as changes in the Book of Mormon, Book of Abraham issues, the Kinderhook Plates, and the LDS Church modifying its history and doctrine.

Sandra participates in a review of a fireside given by LDS historian, Keith Erekson (director of Church historical research and outreach). Discussion focuses on the critical topics that were obscured by Erekson (such as Joseph Smith’s polygamy with already married women, the Law of Adoption, and how the church hides aspects of its history).
