John L. Sorenson's life, next book celebrated
John L. Sorenson's life was celebrated in this video produced by The Book of Mormon Archaeological Forum (BMAF). The short biography reviewed the BYU professor emeritus' groundbreaking work on establishing an ancient American setting for the Book of Mormon.
Sorenson and wife Helen were honored on Oct. 17 at the 7th annual Book of Mormon Archaeological Conference with the "Father Lehi" and "Mother Sariah" awards. BMAF board of trustee member Robert Starling created the video for the event. The video is made available on Mormon Times by permission.
"I always just thought I was a plodder," Sorenson said in response to receiving the award. "I guess that's my view of myself. I just kept plodding along, or slogging through the mud. And there's been a lot of mud to slog through."
