Happy Birthday, Brother Brigham!

Today was (and, for at least a little while in some time zones, still is) the 225th anniversary of the birth of President Brigham Young. To mark it, the Interpreter Foundation and Redbrick Filmworks have released Episode 19 of our Becoming Brigham mini-documentary series. It’s slightly more than twenty-one minutes long: Becoming Brigham Episode 19 — Another Birthday! 225 Years! I hope that you’ll enjoy it. I also wrote an article for Meridian Magazine: “Brigham Young’s 225th Birthday: Remembering... Read more

A Follow-Up on How I Met President Jeffrey R. Holland

Last updated on: May 31, 2026 at 8:29 pm By Dan Peterson

0 Comments

On 27 December 2025, I responded to that morning’s sad news with a blog entry here that I titled “Memories of President Jeffrey R. Holland.” Among the memories that I included in that blog entry was the following: I first met President Holland — to me, he has always been “President Holland,” from the beginning — when I was a new member of the faculty at Brigham Young University. And it wasn’t a very auspicious start. I had been... Read more

The Interpreter Foundation’s second (and final) day began early, at eight o”clock on a cold and rainy morning, with a really strong two-hour plenary session: Steve Smoot opened with a stimulating presentation on “The Combat Myth in Jacob’s Christological Reading of Isaiah.” Jeff Bradshaw followed with an insightful discussion entitled “Hidden in Plain Sight: The Precious Temple Teachings of the Small Plates of the Book of Mormon.” The weather turned sunny and beautiful in the afternoon. In the Thomas... Read more

This coming Monday, 1 June 2026, will be the 225th anniversary of the birth of President Brigham Young. With that in mind, I wrote an article for Meridian Magazine under the title of “Brigham Young’s 225th Birthday: A Quintessentially American Story.” Also, on Monday itself, a special birthday installment of the Interpreter Foundation’s Becoming Brigham series will be posted. In the meanwhile, though, here’s a brief teaser for it: “Another Birthday! 225 Years” A new article, this one written... Read more

Touching the third rail: Apologizing for the priesthood ban?

Last updated on: May 28, 2026 at 8:48 pm By Dan Peterson

I hope that I’ve made it clear enough and mentioned often enough that I found the pre-1978 priesthood ban baffling and, to say the least of it, awkward, and that I was absolutely delighted when it was rescinded. The day that I heard about President Spencer W. Kimball’s priesthood revelation — I was in Zollikofen, Switzerland, at the time, slowly returning from six months in the Middle East — was one of the happiest days of my life. I... Read more

“Was Persecution in Missouri Inevitable?” The latest installment in our Becoming Brigham series is now available online (at, of course, no charge). This episode — the eighteenth — features the Latter-day Saint historian Dr. Matt Godfrey. We’re making every effort to interview premier authorities on the issues that we’re investigating, and to base the content of our series on their work. Some years ago, I was irritated by a gratuitous insult to my faith in Thomas Cahill’s otherwise interesting... Read more

The seventeenth installment of the Becoming Brigham series runs not quite eighteen minutes. Today, being the Sabbath, would be a perfectly appropriate day on which to watch it: Was Zion’s Camp Formative or a Failure? Also, the 47-second “teaser” for the eighteenth installment of Becoming Brigham is up on line for your viewing pleasure: Was the persecution in Missouri inevitable? And did you know that you can subscribe to Becoming Brigham at no charge? Just go to the official... Read more
