Zelph On The Shelf
In 1834, Joseph Smith and members of the Zion’s Camp unearthed a skeleton that was described by Joseph as the remains of Zelph, a renowned white Lamanite prophet who fought in the epic last battles of the Book of Mormon.
Because of the absurdity of the story, as well as its obvious conflict with apologists’ Mesoamerican Book of Mormon model, Zelph is something believing Latter-day Saints may be counseled to “put on the shelf,” along with other historical and doctrinal quandaries. The name “Zelph on the Shelf” pays homage to that concept. Besides, it’s also just really catchy.
This podcast is run by three post-Mormon millennials who were once true-blue, dyed-in-the-wool believers who, after sincere and thorough investigation of Mormon truth claims, decided they could no longer remain active members of the LDS church.
