I did some google searches, and it does look like this author is affiliated with the Mormon church. Just because someone is Mormon doesn't necessarily mean that their writings/research are suspect. But we need to take into account his predisposition when reading this piece.

"I did some google searches, and it does look like this author is affiliated with the Mormon church."

Care to get more specific? I googled the name and couldn't find anything to show he was Mormon. His work is naturaly cited by Mormons, but I also found Jewish sites with articles from him on them.
