This new Interpreter Foundation article went up online today: “Divine Council Directive Speech in Jacob 5: Collaborative Governance and Authorized Partnership in Zenos’s Allegory of the Olive Tree,” written by Stephen Kent Ehat, in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship 68 (2026) : 157-206: Abstract: Christ the Lord—the Lord of the vineyard or the Son acting in his stead—both fulfills his promises and authorizes his servants to share in the work of saving the vineyard.

The Interpreter Foundation, which went dormant years ago according to prophecy, continues moving by sheer inertia along its unchanging path, illustrated by these two new items on its website: Steadfast in Defense of Faith: “Foundations of a Sacred Latter-day Saint Worldview: A Literary Reading of Doctrine and Covenants 59,” written by Steven L. Olsen Part of our book chapter reprint series, this article originally appeared in Steadfast in Defense of Faith: Essays in Honor of Daniel C. Peterson, edited... Read more

A plea for rhetorical self-restraint, against triumphalism

I published a piece today in Meridian Magazine under the title of “The Tragedy of Nauvoo: Remembering the Lost City of the Latter-day Saints.” I hope that you’ll take a look at it. I appreciate the beautiful photographs that accompany the article, which were (I assume) taken by Scot Facer Proctor. The teaser for Episode 7 of Becoming Brigham (Becoming Brigham TRAILER—”Young Brigham Young,” Part Two) has now been posted. The full episode will appear on Monday. And you... Read more

With sixteen other friends (neighbors and former neighbors), as is our fairly regular practice, my wife and I went out to dinner last night at the Joy Luck Restaurant in Sandy and then, afterwards, to the nearby Hale Centre Theatre, where we attended a performance of the farce Peter Pan Goes Wrong. It’s not exactly Sartre, Brecht, or Anouilh, but it’s much funnier than anything any of them ever wrote Two personal highlights for me: In Monday night’s performance,... Read more

I’m pleased to announce that Episode 6 of our Becoming Brigham series is now up online as “Young Brigham Young,” Part One: We tend to think of Brigham Young as the stern-faced old man from the few existing photos. But what was he like during his formative years? Our hosts explore this question, and Camrey interviews Susan Easton Black to get the historian’s perspective on the young Brigham. And, of course, Episode 6 and all of the five preceding... Read more

A new article has appeared in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship 68 (2026): 119-132. It is “The Lord Gave Cain a Sign,” written by Kent P. Jackson: Abstract: God didn’t “set a mark” on Cain. Instead, he gave Cain a sign. The unfortunate translation of Genesis 4:15 in the King James Bible (KJV) has been the source of much misunderstanding over the years. This article is about the English words that the King James translators... Read more

I’ve been seeing complaints in a few circles that our treatment of certain topics in the Becoming Brigham series (e.g., of Brigham Young and race, and of Brigham Young and violence) has been woefully, even shamefully, deficient. I’m serenely confident, of course, that, for many of those who are leveling such criticisms, our treatment of those topics will always be insufficient, no matter how much time and effort we devote to them. The only way in which we could... Read more

Materials from our “chapter reprint series” are now appearing each week on Wednesdays rather than on Thursdays. This may prove both distressing and confusing to at least one member of our audience, who experienced a psychological crisis on a previous occasion when he became disoriented, accusing us of trying to trick him, so I want to make the fact unmistakably clear that we aren’t claiming these to be new articles. They are republications, online, of chapters that had previously... Read more
