Palmer says this is just a lot of emotion, and the experience is described similarly across religions. I smiled at how the non-apologetic review (apparently written by Evangelicals) remonstrated that in contrast to Mormonism, which now is reduced to finding truth through that burning in the bosom experience,
"the position held by the vast majority of evangelicals employs various objective epistemological methods in identifying and verifying biblical truth, which is quite contrary to what Palmer asserts. It is the Mormon position, particularly the epistemological method advocated for determining the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, which is overtly subjective to emotional feeling. The challenge of Moroni 10:4-5 evidences this subjective illusion foundational to Mormonism."
This irony is as delicious as tooblue claiming to be a postmodernist. I love irony. There's no better means to truth.
