Well, here we are. Back in England. In Manchester, specifically — though only through tomorrow morning. We’ll begin four days of filming for Becoming Brigham tomorrow (Monday). Flying from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam and then from Amsterdam to Manchester, my wife and I arrived a day early. The unfortunate remainder of our working group will arrive on Monday and will proceed immediately from the airport to the first filming location. I was somewhat reluctant to do this trip,...

Some notes on the archaeology of the Bible

I think — since I’m under pressure with a lot of other things to do today — that I’ll share here a couple of passages that I marked in Eric H. Cline, Biblical Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2009), when I read it some time back: Despite the fact that biblical archaeologists began their excavations in the Holy Land more than a hundred years ago — with a Bible in one hand...

A 54-second teaser for next week’s installment in the Becoming Brigham series has gone up. (For those of you who, like me, graduated from the public schools of California, that’s less than a minute.) Here it is: “Brigham Young: Deeply Loved?” TEASER for Episode 36: If the Saints would not leave without their endowment, how did Brigham try to both keep God’s promise and preserve their lives when Nauvoo was no longer safe? Why did so many Saints follow... Read more

An action movie and some vacuous theology

With a Second-Generation Unit, I went out last night to see the movie Runner, which stars Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson. (I won’t identify the 2GU, neither by name nor even by gender, so as to try make targeting him or her for derision, criticism, and character assassination at least a little bit harder for The Usual Suspects.) I’m very interested in what Angel Studios is up to and, truth be told, I was curious about how Runner fits... Read more

Have you watched “‘Why Not Sidney Rigdon’ — Episode 35” yet? Hmmm? Inquiring minds want to know! It’s the most recent installment of the Interpreter Foundation’s Becoming Brigham project. And this article went up today on the website of the Interpreter Foundation: “Reprint: The Book of Moses as a Pre-Augustinian Text: A New Look at the Pelagian Crisis,” written by Terryl L. Givens: Part of our book chapter reprint series, this article originally appeared in Tracing Ancient Threads in... Read more

“The Appeal of Socialism and the Case Against It”

Last updated on: September 22, 2026 at 9:09 pm By Dan Peterson

It’s not a particularly well-guarded secret that my enthusiasm for the presidency of Mr. Donald J. Trump is, umm, limited. Accordingly, I’ve not only been described as a supporter of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden but pronounced a liberal, a Democrat, a leftist, a “libtard,” a globalist, a socialist, a Marxist, and even a Communist. Now, though, the cat is out of the proverbial bag. I’ve fully outed myself in Meridian Magazine: “The Appeal of Socialism and the Case... Read more

We’re just back from the annual 21 September Moroni Day celebration that is put on by one of our sister organizations, Scripture Central. The invocation was given by Elder Lawrence C. Corbridge, an emeritus member of the Seventy. Richard E. Turley, Jr., the former assistant Church historian who is now working on the forthcoming official biography of Joseph Smith, spoke on “Moroni as Joseph Smith’s Mentor.” Lynne Hilton Wilson discussed how Moroni’s mission settled issues raised during the “Second...

Comments from two near-death experiencers

I was able to do a teaching visit with the local full-time missionaries today, which was fun. I haven’t done it in quite a while. And I spoke via Zoom with two third-generation units, which was also fun, albeit of a significantly different kind. I was out with the elders. Here, though, is an article reporting on a landmark in the history of Latter-day Saint missionary efforts. And it happens to be fueled, to a significant degree, by sister... Read more

Perhaps you’ve already had the chance to listen to the remarks that President Dallin H. Oaks delivered in Washington DC on Wednesday last. Despite my best intentions, I missed them. That is why it’s such good news that his speech is available online for your viewing and listening, and for mine: “President Oaks: Constitution ‘Compels’ Peacemaking, Protects Religious Freedom: The prophet speaks at Washington National Cathedral on the eve of Constitution Day” In the meantime, I’ve been thinking about...
