Anthony E. Larson

The author of five books for the LDS audience, I am also a journalist, photographer, composer and video producer. I have a scholar's interest in any discipline that relates to the restored gospel, including geology, anthropology, archeology, astronomy, archeoastronomy, etymology, planetary science, paleontology, comparative mythology and comparative religion. More than anything else, I desire to share what I've learned about events in ancient history that have shaped sacred traditions. I wish that every Latter-day Saint could have the insight this study has provided for me, personally. It's a profound exercise in enlightenment that includes the symbolism of the scriptures, the temples and the words of the prophets. Not only does it increase one's gospel comprehension many fold, it amplifies and strengthens one's testimony. In my opinion, every Latter-day Saint should study these things.
