My article for the Deseret News has gone online at LDS Living. I think that it also appeared in the print edition of the Deseret News, but I don’t know that for sure. Anyway, here it is in its online incarnation:

“Scholars Find Evidence That Book of Mormon Phrases Mocked by Critics Have a Surprising and Fascinating History”

Please note, incidentally, that the Royal Skousen/Stan Carmack event will take place on Tuesday night, not on Wednesday night, contrary to the poster that went out the other day and that I trustingly posted here.

For the 16 February 2018 episode of the Interpreter Radio Show, Bruce Webster, Kris Frederickson, and Mike Parker joined together for a discussion of such topics as the protests and excommunication of Sam Young, General Conference speculation and discussion, and keys for understanding Isaiah.

If you missed the broadcast on Sunday night, you can still listen to their conversation (sans commercials) here:

Two quotations from C. Terry Warner, who was the head of the BYU Honors Program — or, at least, of the Late Summer Honors Program — when I first arrived in Provo as a student:

“The self-help movement that began in the latter half of the twentieth century suffers particularly from this flaw, for the personal and interpersonal skills it seeks to cultivate are almost always designed to get us more of what we think we want, rather than to bring about a change of heart.”

“Personal growth is not like the development of a skill. It does not take place in observable increments that can be measured and charted. Indeed, as we have seen, when we’re growing in sensitivity, generosity, and compassion, we’re not aware of it, because we’re not focusing on ourselves. The recovery of emotional freedom simply does not have the quality, for most of us, of a controllable sequence of transformations. It’s more a career of discovering futher and further weaknesses and shedding them in turn.”
