But why isn’t everybody persuaded? (Part One)

I recorded an interview on 1 Corinthians 14-16 earlier today with Hank Smith and John Bytheway for their Follow Him podcast. We had a good time. (At least, I did.) I’ll try to announce here when it goes up. We went out to dinner with friends last night and then, together, attended a strong performance of Newsies at the Hale Centre Theatre. I’m not really into dance (which is putting it mildly), but the choreography was very good.... Read more

Early this afternoon, I recorded a joint virtual podcast interview with Troy Ables, of The Last Dispensation, and Jarred Davies, from Christian Homestead. I’ll try to mention it when the interview goes up, just in case anybody out there is even remotely interested. (I expect that some of my most obsessive critics will want to hear it, at least.) Latter-day Saints don’t use the term natural theology very often, if at all. In fact, we don’t... Read more

To my mind, the improvised panel discussion this past Friday, which was the last day of the 2023 FAIR conference, was truly remarkable. I’m almost tempted to label it “historic,” as it included three of the most prominent current experts on Mesoamerica and the Book of Mormon all together on the stage. I repeat here what I posted about it on that day: Jenny Reeder was supposed to speak this morning about “The Eliza R. Snow Project,” but... Read more

A new article went up today in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship. (It’s Friday. You weren’t expecting a new article today? Seriously?) The title of the new article is, simply, “Credo.” And, well, umm, I’m the author of the thing. Heck, I even recorded it, and the audio is available at the link that I’ve supplied. Abstract: The Restoration began with the stunning divine declaration to the Prophet Joseph Smith that the Christian sects of... Read more

The first presentation at today’s FAIR Conference was “BYU-Pathway: Serving the Hidden Many” from Brian K. Ashton, the president of BYU-Pathway Worldwide. It was absolutely thrilling. BYU-Pathway Worldwide (obviously yet another horror drawn from the Christopher Hitchens Memorial “How Religion Poisons Everything” File™) is something of which, I think, all members of the Church — in the developed world and beyond, ought to be aware. (There are more students currently enrolled with BYU-Pathways Worldwide than there are at... Read more

The Interpreter Foundation has been around long enough that, rather in the manner of Turner Classic Movies, it has amassed a considerable library of good materials that are as satisfying today as they were when they first appeared. Here is one of them, which went up earlier today: “Conference Talks: “By the Blood Ye Are Sanctified”: The Symbolic, Salvific, Interrelated, Additive, Retrospective, and Anticipatory Nature of the Ordinances of Spiritual Rebirth in John 3 and Moses 6“ Jeffrey...

Oppenheimer

So, yes, I’ve now seen Oppenheimer. And yes, it’s very long (though I didn’t feel it so) and, yes, it contains a few minutes of (pretty mundane) nudity and a couple of quite unappealing (and not exactly necessary) sexual episodes. But I liked it very much. Largely, I suppose, because it covers history that I have always found quite interesting and involves figures with whom I’m reasonably well acquainted. It was fun to see Albert Einstein show up,... Read more

If you’re in Utah or planning to be in Utah between now and sometime in October, you really should stop by the free, full-scale, outdoor “Tabernacle of the Old Testament” exhibit that is running in various locations here. Currently, in fact, and continuing on through 15 August, the Tabernacle stands on the park area immediately adjacent to my own Orem stake center. Another reproduction of the Tabernacle is in South Jordan through this Wednesday, 2 August, and will... Read more

I’m sitting on an open-air balcony looking across a golf course up at the mountains during a gentle but solid rain. The aroma is delicious. Life can be very good. The remarks below are based largely though not quite entirely upon Roger Trigg, Does science undermine faith? (London: Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge, 1918), 1-11. Roger Trigg is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick and Senior Research Fellow at the Ian Ramsey Centre... Read more

Earlier this year, in preparation for sitting down to interview Professor Alexander in connection with the Interpreter Foundation’s Six Days in August film project, I re-read Thomas G. Alexander, Brigham Young and the Expansion of the Mormon Faith (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2019). That interview with him — he’s been a friend of ours for many years now — will eventually figure in the docudrama portion of the Foundation’s film effort. Here are some passages from his very good...
