Connor Pay and Chase Roberts are joined by BYU Religion Professor Gerrit Dirkmaat, a historian who contributed to the Joseph Smith Papers. Professor Dirkmaat explains the organization of the Doctrine and Covenants and the reasons behind the later addition of certain revelations. The trio also discuss Joseph Smith's process of learning line upon line, his experiences before the angel Moroni's visit, and the temptations he faced while trying to obtain the gold plates.
