As you’ve probably noticed — I’ve scarcely been subtle or coy about it! — we are in the process of making a theatrical movie under the title of Six Days in August, and I’m urgently seeking additional funds for the completion of that venture, for which the actual filming is now approximately 82% finished. Much still remains to be done after the filming, including postproduction, editing, distribution, publicity, and the like, and the costs for such things have... Read more

Why do I pay attention to the Peterson Obsession Board? My nickname for it explains the reason. I look in on the POB several times each week because, on a daily basis for something like the past fifteen years — in other words, for however long it has existed — I have been a regular target there and, arguably, the single principal target, for criticism, mockery, and, yes, character assassination and defamation. It’s the only anti-Mormon website... Read more

First of all, I want to thank the readers of this blog, who continue to read it, or at least to summon it up on their computer screens, despite my manifold (and manifest) incapacities. I read a couple of appraisals of myself online this morning that indirectly illustrate just how charitable and forgiving you are. According to one of those appraisals, which wasn’t making any particular effort to be kind, I’m immature, stupid, and entirely without class. According... Read more

Brigham Young, homicidal tyrant and bully?

The passing of President M. Russell Ballard of the Twelve represents the departure of a long-familiar figure from Church leadership. He had been a General Authority since 1976 (nearly half a century), and an apostle for thirty-eight years, since 1985. With his death, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland becomes the senior apostle within the Quorum. But Elder Holland’s health still appears to be poor, and that may mean that effective leadership of the Twelve will fall to Elder Dieter...

Some thoughts on reading about Brigham Young

Last updated on: November 21, 2023 at 6:55 pm By Dan Peterson

On a message board where harshly negative reviews of the Interpreter Foundation’s as-yet uncompleted film project Six Days in August have been pouring in by the dozens, appraisals of Brigham Young have also been abundant. Brigham was, it seems, not a decent man. Indeed, he was a frightening bully and a murderous tyrant. One earnest soul even offers a reading list of contemporary nineteenth-century perspectives on President Young in order to support such judgments — contemporary sources, of... Read more

Newly posted on the website of the Interpreter Foundation: Preview Video of “Not by Bread Alone: Stories of the Saints in Africa I found this article unusually interesting: “It’s Not Politics: Fatherhood Decline Causing Rise of Religious Nones” It reminded me of a column that I originally wrote for the Provo Daily Herald back on 14 April 2000: A widespread assumption, especially among intellectuals, holds that belief in God derives from irrational, immature needs and wishes,...
