We met up with Kris Frederickson, a member of the Interpreter Foundation board and an organizer and co-host of this Interpreter Church history tour of England and then went to meet our motor coach and our local guide and friend, Peter Fagg, and the rest of our group — save two, who didn’t arrive until dinnertime tonight after flight delays — at the Manchester airport. Thereupon, we drove to the Liverpool Docks, where, walking about the area, we discussed... Read more

My wife and I spent multiple hours yesterday, Wednesday, scouting out the glorious British Museum. My usual strategy there over the years has been to try to see every room. By the end of the day, my head is splitting and I’m no longer enjoying it, but I’m determined to visit each and every single @#$& room in the building. Toward the end of this tour, though, I’m supposed to lead our group for about an hour and a... Read more

New, on the blog of the Interpreter Foundation, where nothing ever changes: “The Heartland Versus Mesoamerica, Part 5: The Narrow Strip of Wilderness,” written by Brant A. Gardner. As a small constituent part of a long-term project that I’m working on, I’ll be extracting notes over the next several weeks or (more likely) months from John W. Welch, ed., Reexploring the Book of Mormon: A Decade of New Research (Salt Lake City and Provo: Deseret Book, 1992), and intermittently sharing them here.... Read more

From the “Sometimes, You Can Only Laugh” Department: As usual on such occasions, I didn’t sleep on the non-stop trans-Atlantic flight from Salt Lake City to London. Instead, I read Agatha Christie’s first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in which she first introduced the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot — I can’t recall having read it before — and then, to my shame, watched five episodes from the first season of the current television series Watson, followed by listening...

The “Practical Man of Action”

Back in 2022, in preparation for the launch of our Six Days in August film project (which continues with our series of forthcoming Becoming Brigham documentary short features, currently in production), I reread Eugene England, Brother Brigham (Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1980) and, as on my two previous readings of the book, really enjoyed it. As I’ve said before, I recommend Brother Brigham highly. If you can get hold of a copy of it, or find it online, I... Read more

C. S. Lewis and Baptism for the Dead

I was browsing last night in W. H. Lewis, ed., Letters of C. S. Lewis (New York and London: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1966), when I came across the following passage, which I don’t recall having ever noticed before. It’s an excerpt from a letter “To a Lady” (otherwise unidentified by the editor) that is dated 28 October 1961, slightly more than two years before Lewis’s own death on 22 November 1963 (the same day on which Aldous Huxley and...

Although I can’t honestly recommend the presentation that began at 1:35 PM this afternoon, I’ll make this overall comment otherwise: If you didn’t come to the Tanner Building at BYU today and you didn’t listen online, you missed some really interesting material. Here is the program for today’s second and concluding session — Saturday, 10 May 2025: Saturday Session 2 — of the Interpreter Foundation’s conference on “Abraham and His Family: In Scripture, History, and Tradition”: Keynote Session Chair: John...

We spent another solid day today filming for the Interpreter Foundation’s forthcoming Becoming Brigham series of short documentaries, this time doing indoor “studio” conversations at a home in Pleasant Grove. I think that we captured some good discussions, and I’m looking forward to eventually making these materials public. I hope and I believe that people will find them interesting and helpful. I’m afraid that I’ve fallen a bit behind on alerting you to new posts on the website of... Read more
