Χριστός ἀνέστη! Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη!

Χριστός ἀνέστη! Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη! In Greek, which is the original language of the New Testament — and in equivalent phrases in other languages influenced by Greek Orthodox usage — it is customary to greet one another on Easter Sunday with the phrase Khristos anesti! To which the traditional response is Alithos anesti! Christ is risen! Truly, he is risen! I offer, yet again, part of an Easter reflection that I wrote back in 2012 (just a week or so after...

Freshly posted on the famously somnolent website of the Interpreter Foundation is this new item: Conversations with Interpreter: Daniel Peterson and Becoming Brigham: This episode features Dr. Daniel C. Peterson, professor emeritus and president of the Interpreter Foundation. Dr. Peterson discusses the exciting new web series Becoming Brigham, which presents a fuller picture of the person and ministry of Brigham Young than is sometimes presented in our broader discourse. Although definitely a product of the Nineteenth Century, the historical... Read more

“Easter and Doctrine and Covenants 138”

I wish you a happy and blessed Good Friday. I wrote an article for Easter weekend that appeared late last night in Meridian Magazine and I hope that you’ll give it a look: “The Resurrection Was So Real, It Transformed Ordinary Men into Fearless Witnesses.” Our 2026 Easter message, written by Janet Ewell, has just been published on the website of the Interpreter Foundation: “Easter and Doctrine and Covenants 138: Our Harrowing of Hell, Our Descensus Christi ad Inferos, Our...

I’m still bemused by the antics of a small but vocal gaggle of critics who profess to see no difference between mainstream Christian veneration of the cross as the symbol of Christianity and of the atonement, on the one hand, and, on the other, showing a cross in a scene from the life of Jesus — whose life actually does involve a cross at an important part of the story. The occasion for their comments is the recent placement... Read more

This article, which went up earlier today, is not a new journal article. It’s a reprint. From a book. Please don’t become confused, indignant, and upset, as one poor and unfortunate fellow did a couple of years back, when he imagined that we were trying to put one over on him by substituting a reprint for a new article, even though the item that set him off had clearly been identified as a reprint. Anyway, here’s what went up... Read more

Do Latter-day Saints really abhor the cross of Jesus?

This article appeared last week in the “Newsroom” of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and, much as every other news story about the Church always does, it has inspired attacks from a few of the Church’s more zealous critics: “Two Statues Depicting Jesus Christ Unveiled at Temple Square.” The focus of the attacks is on a statue, created by Michael Hall and pictured in the article, that is entitled “Jesus Christ Carrying the Cross.” The substance...

Today was/is Palm Sunday, commemorating the day on which, according to accounts given in the New Testament, Jesus entered triumphantly into Jerusalem to the acclamation of large crowds, who spread palm fronds and robes on the ground before him to prepare his way, shouting “Hosanna!” Within just a few days, he was dead. We’ve now entered into Holy Week, and I’m very happy that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is emphasizing this season more than it... Read more

The Interpreter Foundation continues to give revolutionary new meaning to terms like moribund, stagnant, dead, comatose, and unchanging: For instance, a new article went up today in the Interpreter Foundation’s regular peer-reviewed journal: “A Comparative View of Causative Constructions in the Book of Mormon,” Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship 68 (2026): 223-242, written by Stanford Carmack: Abstract: One type of English frequently found in the Book of Mormon is the finite causative construction.
