659: Dr. Greg Prince Pt. 2 - On Autism, Mormon History, and LDS Priesthood

Dr. Greg Prince is best known within Mormonism as the author of three books: - Power from on High: The Development of Mormon Priesthood - David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism - Leonard Arrington and the Writing of Mormon History In this three-part series we discuss the following: - Part 1: Greg's early years as a Mormon in the Los Angeles area, his graduate work as a dentist and as a pathologist, and his role in developing a cure for RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection), which has saved tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of infant lives. - Part 2: Greg discusses the challenges of raising a son (Madison) with autism, then discusses how he developed a gospel framework that allowed him to avoid a faith crisis, which led to his entree into Mormon history authorship. We focus on his Priesthood book. - Part 3: Greg goes deep into how he maintains faith/belief and activity in God/Christ/the LDS Church as a scientist, and after knowing so much troubling LDS history. He also lays out in detail his nuanced LDS testimony.
