You can watch the newest installment of Becoming Brigham here: “On Whom Did Brigham Young Fully Rely? Becoming Brigham, Episode 42″ And you can subscribe here, at Becoming Brigham’s official website. I continue to be surprised and a bit discouraged at how many people, even among our neighbors and among friends in our home stake, are completely unaware of the existence of Becoming Brigham. They’ve never so much as heard of it. They’re surprised to learn of it. (I... Read more

Our new release in the Becoming Brigham series went up this morning: “On Whom Did Brigham Young Fully Rely? Becoming Brigham, Episode 42″ And please remember to subscribe to the series at its online home. Please, too, if you missed some of the earlier episodes, have a look at them! They’re all up, and they’re all free. Today marks the anniversary of the end of the Berlin Wall in 1989. I could think of no better way, personally, to... Read more

I’ve been discouraged over the past several days by the number of online claims that I’ve been seeing — and I’m certain that I’m seeing only a tiny proportion of the similar dreck that’s out there — that Islam calls for the killing of all Christians, and that Muslims seek to obliterate Christianity or, at least, to ban it. Yes, there are crazed loons out there, but these claims are flatly and demonstrably false as pertains to the actual... Read more

Interesting social science data, analyzed by a premier sociologist of religion: “Why Don’t Religious Nones Want Kids? Among childless older adults, the religious divide is less about circumstances than desire.” “Religious “nones” shatter white evangelical dominance at the polls” I’m not actually able to access this article, but even its first few lines — which I can see — are interesting. And they allow me to transition seamlessly into this bit of overtly political analysis, with which I agree... Read more

Notes on the “Grammar and Alphabet” and the Riots in France

A new article, written by John Gee, has gone up at Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship 70 (2027): 205-230, under the title of “Observations on W. W. Phelps’s Grammar and Alphabet”: Abstract: The Grammar and Alphabet, often attributed to Joseph Smith, is demonstrably the work of W. W. Phelps. Attributions to Joseph Smith are based on a single late reminiscence, which was not authored nor approved by Joseph Smith. The notion that the Grammar and... Read more

Subscribe for free to Becoming Brigham! Do it at becomingbrigham.com. And be sure to watch this week’s installment (Brigham Young, Insistent Disciple—Episode 41) because, after this week, there will be yet another week’s new installment. Why did Brigham Young insist on returning to Far West to dedicate the temple cornerstone to begin the England mission, even after the Saints had been driven from Missouri? How did the women of the early Church sustain their families and the missionary work... Read more

I was struggling so mightily yesterday to compose a coherent and readable blog entry about Islam — rightin’ in English (or any other language) ain’t eggzactly my strong soot, but, for the eventual result of my efforts, see “Something That Is Borderline Worthless” — that I clean forgot to include a reminder about the latest installment in our Becoming Brigham series, which appeared early on Monday morning: “Brigham Young, Insistent Disciple — Becoming Brigham Episode 41.” Please watch it.

Within the past few days, I had a brief encounter on Facebook with a rather aggressive critic who is apparently a resident of Sandy, Utah. I’ll call him SJ. He was provoked by my blog entry of 28 October 2026, which was entitled “Apostles and Prophets Have Counseled Us on This Matter.” That blog entry centered on a 1978 statement of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about (among others) the Muslim...

I have to confess that Halloween has never really ranked among my favorite holidays, although for me as, I suppose, for most if not all Americans, the “holiday season” begins with Halloween. It’s always been a bit ghoulish and macabre for my tastes, as is the quite separate but calendrically adjacent Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos — which began today and will continue tomorrow. Properly understood, which Halloween in the United States almost never is, both Halloween and the... Read more
