The latest instantiation of the biweekly Saturday Hamblin/Peterson column in the Deseret News:

“Remaking, modernizing Christian architecture in Spain’s Basilica de la Sagrada Familia”

***

In the pages of Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture, the inimitable Jeff Lindsay — our man in China — critiques an innovative argument against the authenticity of Joseph Smith’s prophetic claims:

“Too Little or Too Much Like the Bible? A Novel Critique of the Book of Mormon Involving David and the Psalms”

***

Also from the Interpreter Foundation:

“How Does the Book of Ruth Provide a Model for Marriage?”: Gospel Doctrine Lesson 20: “All the City … Doth Know That Thou Art a Virtuous Woman” (Ruth; 1 Samuel 1) (JBOTL20A)

Also from the Interpreter Foundation:

In the 20 May 2018 broadcast of the Interpreter Radio Show, Bruce Webster, Kris Frederickson, and Mike Parker discussed the book of Joshua, accounts of “divine genocide,” the Council of Fifty and government during the Millennium, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, political contention and hate, the Deuteronomists and the Josian reform, meeting between the First Presidency and the NAACP, and the parting of ways between the Church and the Boy Scouts of America.

That broadcast has been archived and is available for your listening pleasure. (Click on the link provided above.)

Don’t miss the live broadcasts of the Interpreter Radio Show, as volunteers for the Foundation perform without a net!

And here’s yet another item that’s available through the Interpreter Foundation:

“The LDS Church and the Sugar Industry, with Matthew C. Godfrey”

In this connection, you might especially enjoy also reading the following item, from Presiding Bishop Gérald Caussé, who, as it happens, is a native of France:

“Church Finances and a Growing Global Faith”

Given all of the things that you’ve been enjoying from the Interpreter Foundation at no charge, it’s no wonder that the thought has occasionally crossed your mind of making a donation to support the Foundation’s efforts. There’s no shame in this. You can be pardoned. And we’ve made it easy for your to satisfy your longings in this regard:

“Donating to The Interpreter Foundation”

At the very least, you should sign up with AmazonSmile to support Interpreter or, if you prefer, any other charitable enterprise of your choice. Doing so will cost you absolutely nothing. It’s a way of enlisting Amazon.com as a backer for whatever worthy cause you choose.

“How to use Amazon Smile to Make Donations”

We certainly hope that you’ll consider choosing Interpreter as your focus at AmazonSmile, but, whether you choose Interpreter or some other worthwhile organization, you should definitely use AmazonSmile.

And that’s a minimum. Please do consider making an actual personal donation. (With AmazonSmile, you’re simply ordering Amazon to contribute fifty cents to an organization that you designate for every hundred dollars that you spend on things for yourself.)
