What do Isaiah, Nephi’s vision, ancient metal plates, and Heavenly Mother have in common?

In this fascinating conversation, biblical scholar and temple theologian Margaret Barker shares discoveries from more than a decade of studying ancient lead books. We explore their connections to Isaiah and first-temple traditions, the Divine Mother and her Messiah Son, the Tree of Life, Nephi’s vision in 1 Nephi 11–14, Revelation, and the possibility that sacred traditions were preserved through records outside the biblical text.

Could these mysterious metal records help illuminate Isaiah’s vision of restoration, sealed teachings, and the “marvelous work and a wonder”? Join us as we explore some remarkable parallels between ancient temple traditions, the Book of Mormon, and the restoration of the Divine Feminine.
