“Elias: Prophet of the Restoration,” written by Jan Francisco Abstract: The Prophet Elias is a puzzle, with a handful of pieces scattered through the standard works and the teachings of Joseph Smith. Rather than proving a point conclusively, this paper will put the pieces together to show a new picture of this important figure. The interpretation in this article weaves together the scriptures regarding Elias into a cohesive narrative, with the prophet Noah at the center. The pieces of... Read more

We had lunch today at the home of friends who live here. The husband is a Ph.D. computer scientist now retired from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in northern California, and they have traveled with us on at least a couple of occasions. They generously gave me a pair of books, one of which is a biography of a couple of his ancestors: Wayne Borrowman, John and Agnes Borrowman: A Story of the West (Las Vegas: no publisher, no...

First, though: A link to this talk, which was presented on Saturday, 25 October 2014, at the Interpreter Foundation’s 2014 Temple on Mount Zion Conference, went up today on the Foundation’s website: Conference Talks: “Enthroning the Daughter of Zion: The Coronation Motif of Isaiah 60-62,” given by Carli Anderson In connection with the Interpreter Foundation’s pending “Six Days in August” film project, I’ve recently finished re-reading Thomas G. Alexander, Brigham Young and the Expansion of the... Read more

First, though, I need to mention that the website of the Interpreter Foundation still seems to have a bit of life left in it. Here are the links that went up today: Interpreter Radio Show — February 5, 2023 In this episode of the Interpreter Radio Show, the discussants were Neal Rappleye, Jasmin Rappleye, Stephen Smoot, and Hales Swift. Their conversation, which concentrated on purported anachronisms in the Book of Abraham, is now archived and has been... Read more

Jimmy Carter and I

Last updated on: March 2, 2023 at 10:19 pm By Dan Peterson

Jimmy Carter, who served as the 39th president of the United States, has entered hospice care. As I understand the definition and requirements of hospice care, this means that he has, at most, six months left to live, and possibly significantly less time than that. I never voted for Mr. Carter. I did not and do not consider him an effective president. I think that he was probably, at least a bit, in over his head. (An anecdote... Read more

I should have said something earlier about the physical setting of the Matthew’s account of the Sermon on the Mount, about its location: “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them.” (Matthew 5:1-2) First of all, readers should rid their minds in this context of anything even remotely resembling the mountains of the American West, let alone the...

Thinking about “Evolution”

Last updated on: March 2, 2023 at 10:37 pm By Dan Peterson

0 Comments

It seems to me that the term evolution has at least three quite distinct meanings in ordinary lay English conversation, and that these three need to be carefully distinguished during conversation, lest confusion result. One meaning is “change over time.” Nobody seriously disputes this. Or, at least nobody should dispute it. People today are taller than they used to be. (Look at King Henry VIII’s armor in the Tower of London if you want to try to dispute... Read more

Adieu!

Two new articles went up today at noon (Utah time) on the website of the Interpreter Foundation. We hope that you’ll enjoy them: “Toward a Greater Appreciation of the Word Adieu in Jacob 7:27,” written by Godfrey J. Ellis Abstract: The phrase “Brethren, adieu” (Jacob 7:27) has been criticized over the years as an obvious anachronism in the Book of Mormon. That criticism holds no validity whatsoever, as others have pointed out, since many English words have French origins. It’s... Read more

Over the past year — and the distribution of the dates below will demonstrate that beyond any reasonable question — I’ve been sporadically and unsystematically bookmarking articles related to the subject of transgenderism. I’m cleaning out my files, and I thought that at least a few of you might be interested in one or more of these links. Some, of course, will come at me like torrents of molten lava. This is not a topic that brings out... Read more
