Dr. Lynn Johnson has kindly called my attention to an article that appeared in yesterday’s Epoch Times: “Depressed Woman Dies on Operating Table, Sees Heaven and Future Events, Returns to Life a New Person.” It’s a good example, and a pretty representative one, of a near-death experience, and I want to call attention to certain aspects of it: At twenty-one, Tricia Barker was depressed and suicidal. In fact, she attempted suicide. But she woke up, still quite... Read more

This presentation, which was delivered by Camille Stilson Williams on Saturday, 12 March 2016, at 2016’s Second Interpreter Science & Mormonism Symposium: “Body, Brain, Mind, and Spirit,” has just gone up on the website of the Interpreter Foundation: “Conference Talks: Veiled in Flesh: An LDS Perspective on the Body” I was very quickly aware of the news when, remarkably, the skeletal remains of King Richard III of England were found under a “car park” — in...

Today marks the 179th anniversary of the assassination of the Prophet Joseph Smith and his elder brother Hyrum by a mob in Carthage, Illinois. They were, ostensibly, in the custody and under the protection of the state. The British-born John Taylor, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and the future third president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was grievously wounded during the attack. During visits to Carthage and, sixteen... Read more

First, though: The discussants for the 18 June 2023 episode of the Interpreter Radio Show were Bruce Webster, Kris Frederickson, and Robert Boylan.

Their conversation has now been archived, freed from commercial and other interruptions, and made available to you at your convenience and free of charge. The... Read more

The latest iteration of the script for our next theatrical film, Six Days in August, arrived earlier today. The film will focus on the succession of the Twelve to leadership of the Church after the assassination of Joseph and Hyrum Smith on 27 June 1844. My wife and I look forward very much to reading it through. We’re on track, I think, to commence initial filming sometime in August. Which sets me to thinking about the relationship between...

I was otherwise occupied yesterday, so I failed to note the appearance of two new articles on the website of the Interpreter Foundation: ““They Shall Be Scattered Again”: Some Notes on JST Genesis 50:24–25, 33–35” was written by Matthew L. Bowen. Abstract: This article examines the extension of the etiological wordplay on the name Joseph (in terms of the Hebrew verbs ʾāsap and yāsap), recurrent in the canonical text of Genesis, into the JST Genesis 50 text, where Joseph learns about and...

For a long time, I thought of the history of England, Scotland, and Wales as their history, the history of a foreign country or countries. And, of course, in a very real and obvious sense it is the history of foreign places, relative to me. In another sense, though, it is my own history. Elements of my maternal family lines first appeared in the New World in the late 1600s; most are much more recent than that. In... Read more

Praying with Jane Austen

I’m a real Jane Austen fan. Once upon a time, in fact, I worried (half seriously or, anyway, perhaps three percent seriously) that my great affection for her novels (and for every movie based upon them or upon her, excepting only and decisively the execrable 1940 Pride and Prejudice, co-written by Aldous Huxley and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier) might cast doubt upon my masculinity. But I no longer worry: I have a friend who holds the... Read more

Tales of the Gloucester Crypt

Last updated on: June 22, 2023 at 3:36 am By Dan Peterson

Our focus today was on the city of Gloucester, and most particular on the city’s cathedral. When I think of Gloucester, I’m afraid that the very first thing that occurs to me is Richard III, who reigned from 1483 until his death — the last English king to die in combat and the last of the Plantagenet monarchs — at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. Prior to his brief tenure as king of England, Richard was... Read more
