I’m eleven hours off of my normal time zone and have been almost completely without internet access for the past couple of days or so. I apologize for being late in calling these new items from the Interpreter Foundation to your notice, but I had little alternative. They went up on Thursday and Friday: “Jeremiah “the Prophet,”” written by Loren Blake Spendlove Abstract: This article, which focuses on the role of Jeremiah as a prophet, is based on a... Read more

A couple of weeks ago, I read Cassidy Nichole Pyper, ““Not Only Men but Women Also”: An Argument for Alma’s Intentional Inclusion of Women,” BYU Studies 64/1 (2025): 21-44. I have to admit that, when I began the article, I wasn’t really expecting much. Sister Pyper contends, for example, that, when the Book of Mormon refers to, or addresses, “brethren,” that term can and should generally be taken to include women, sisters, as well. But I’ve assumed that more inclusive... Read more

On Saturday, 5 April, my friend Don Bradley lost his son Donnie suddenly, in an unspeakably tragic and horrible incident. (I don’t feel that, on my own initiative, I can go further into the details of what happened.) I’ve spoken with Don within the past few hours. As you can easily imagine, he is absolutely grief-stricken. He has now set up a gofundme account in honor of his boy: Help Extend Donnie’s Legacy of Love through UNICEF FOR DONNIE’S... Read more

In his very brief article “The Seven Seals, the Age of the Earth, and Ongoing Revelation” (BYU Studies 64/1 [2025]: 95-96, Professor Nicholas J. Frederick argues that Doctrine and Covenants 77 — which is built upon a revelation received by the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1832 — should not be taken in isolation when Latter-day Saints discuss their doctrinal position (if we really even have one -dcp) on the age of the earth. Dr. Frederick says that statements that... Read more

Looking at arguments for a “transphysical self”

Yesterday, I published an article in Meridian Magazine about a reported phenomenon that puzzles me and that some of you might find . . . well, curious: “Remarkable Signs in the Heavens the Night Joseph Got the Plates.” If nothing else, you might enjoy it. Two very different takes on the legacy of Pope Francis: “Pope Francis, My Worst Protestant Nightmare” (in the Catholic-leaning magazine First Things, written by Carl Trueman, a Protestant theologian whom I admire and who...

“First Presidency Offers Condolences on Passing of His Holiness Pope Francis” As the First Presidency has already done, I offer my condolences on the death of Pope Francis to any Catholic readers who may perhaps wander through here. The Pope’s passing comes as a surprise to many, including me, because he seemed to be recovering reasonably well from a lengthy and serious hospitalization a few weeks ago. Just yesterday, he both appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s... Read more

An Easter greeting

Last updated on: April 20, 2025 at 10:19 am By Dan Peterson

0 Comments

A traditional greeting is given on Easter Sunday (beginning at midnight and continuing throughout the day) across much of the Eastern Christian world. It is often expressed in Greek, but often, too, in whatever the actual local language happens to be. In Greek, it goes like this: Χριστὸς ἀνέστη! Christos Anesti (in modern Greek pronunciation) Christ is risen! To which the traditional response is Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη! Alithos Anesti (in modern Greek pronunciation) Truly, he is risen! He is risen....

I intended to do more than I have, both here on this blog and personally, with Holy Week or Passion Week — the term passion refers not to emotions in our modern sense, but to Christ’s suffering — which began last weekend on Palm Sunday. I’ll try to make up for it, at least a little bit, today and tomorrow. This has been a very hectic week. Precisely as I wasn’t hoping it to be. On Thursday, I said... Read more

Many years ago, not long after our launch, Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship began to commission a special article for publication every year at Christmas time and at Easter — or, more accurately in the latter case, to appear annually on Good Friday. Today is Good Friday, and here is a link to the Interpreter Foundation’s 2025 Easter article, written by Joseph W. Green and entitled “Easter as Threshold: Trauma, Transformation, and God’s Presence in... Read more

An article reprint — that is, a chapter from an already-published book — has gone up on the website of the Interpreter Foundation. These reprints, which go up on Thursdays, are not to be confused with the articles in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship, which go up on Fridays. A few months ago, that difficult distinction left one confused critic very indignant, and I don’t want him to have that embarrassing problem again. So here... Read more
