Just a couple of hours ago, this interview with Greg Matsen, which runs almost exactly fifty minutes, was posted on the Cwic Show: “The Great Brigham Debate: Brigham Young Was NOT the Villain You’ve Been Told – feat. Daniel Peterson” Also: This interview, in which I spoke with Nathan Lenaghen of BYU-Idaho Radio, was posted earlier today: “New documentary series focuses on Brigham Young.” It runs not quite twenty-two minutes.

“True and Living,” written by Daniel C. Peterson, was published today in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship 67 (2025) : vii-xiv. Abstract: What does it mean for the Church to be “true and living”? Is it prideful to make such a claim? Why is it important that the Church be both? And I would also like to call your attention to “Conversations with Interpreter: A New Video Podcast, Starting Saturday, January 31.” Although the Interpreter... Read more

I participated in a meeting up in Salt Lake City yesterday afternoon that was sponsored by the Communications Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One of the matters discussed was the question of where most Americans get their information about the Church, and where they form their impressions of it. The relevant data indicate that their information and impressions come, mostly, from the entertainment media. Happily, we’ve been blessed by a continuously flowing river of... Read more
