"I Was Jewish—Then I Found The Book Of Mormon" - Jason Olson

Jason Olson is the author of 'The Burning Book: A Jewish-Mormon Memoir.'

I wanted to speak to Jason about his fascinating conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and how his Jewish identity influences his Latter-day Saint faith today.

Some highlights from this episode include the role of the Book of Mormon in Jason's conversion, what we can learn from Judaism today, and why Jason was close to burning the Book of Mormon.
