Newly posted on the website of the Interpreter Foundation: Joseph Smith and Our Preparation for the Lord’s Final Judgment: Essays by George L. Mitton, “Foreword: Eschewing the Ephemeral,” written by Jeffrey M. Bradshaw: “In every conversation I’ve had with George, what impresses me most is his earnestness about the important, enduring matters of life. I didn’t know him when he was younger, but I imagine that he was always that way. In this, he has been a personal model... Read more

Hurrah for Excommunication!

Well, the click-bait headline worked, as they typically do. Gotcha. First of all, let me make it plain that I’m saddened by excommunications. I don’t, as one very small pod of my somewhat unhinged personal critics pretend to believe, rejoice when people are excommunicated. More precisely, though, I’m saddened by the acts of immorality, the abandonment of once-treasured covenants, the loss of spiritual confidence and trust, the angry rejection of Church leadership, the repudiation of central teachings of the...

Our 2021 theatrical film, Witnesses, was dedicated to the memory of “Richard Lloyd Anderson, a witness to the witnesses.” Now it comes down to you. One of the many spin-offs of the overall “Witnesses” project is this one, which is available for your viewing: “Episode 17: What is your Witness?” Witnesses of the Book of Mormon—Insights Episode 17: What does it mean to be a witness? How can you be a witness? This is Episode 17 of a series... Read more

“Why the Witnesses Project?”

The current issue of the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the official journal of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), to which I subscribe, arrived two or three weeks ago, and I’m finally beginning to read it. It’s dated “Summer 2023,” which seems to make me really late. But, alas, such delays are all too common among small, understaffed, and underfunded academic journals. (This is far from the first time that I’ve seen such a thing.) Anyway, it’s a... Read more

“Perspectives on the Soteriological Problem of Evil: Nuancing the “Universalist” Theologies of Henri de Lubac and Joseph Smith,” written by Timothy Gervais. Abstract: Since the discovery of the new world by Christian European explorers during the age of discovery, the increasingly global community of the modern age has confronted Christian theologians with difficult soteriological questions. These questions have caused many Christian adherents to abandon conceptions of a uniquely Christian salvation in favor of theological positions of religious pluralism. Other... Read more

Our exit from Afghanistan was badly botched. And America’s abandonment of those Afghans who had helped us there — often at considerable risk to their lives and the lives of their families — has long been a national disgrace and an obvious moral failure, as well as a disastrous precedent that will be remembered whenever we again seek local allies somewhere. Furthermore, alas, the situation isn’t improving: “Trump’s refugee ban leaves Afghan allies abandoned: Thousands of Afghans who aided... Read more

Please share this link far and wide with friends and family! https://witnessesfilm.com/?ref=undaunted Not infrequently, I read comments from purportedly liberated ex-Latter-day Saints about the glories of churchless Sundays. Instead of attending mind-numbingly dull and repetitious meetings, they claim to spend most of their Sundays skiing, golfing, biking, reading classic books, listening to superb music, perfecting their highly toned bodies through exercise,...
