Some here may be interested in this 44-minute discussion between an Evangelical Protestant and a Latter-day Saint: “Heretic Review: Why Everyone Should Oppose Religious Misrepresentations.” I myself have listened, thus far, to only about twenty-five percent of the recording, but I’ve enjoyed it thus far. In this conversation, Jacob Hansen and Jeff McCullough discuss the recent film ‘Heretic’ and its portrayal of Latter-day Saints and Christianity. They explore the broader themes of media representation, the exploitation of religious beliefs,... Read more

The so-called “secret combinations” of the Book of Mormon have long been of particular interest to me. Here are three articles about them from Jeff Lindsay, a valued member of the Interpreter Foundation’s board of directors and until recently one of the editors of Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship, that were recently published in Meridian Magazine: “A Practical Guide to the Book of Mormon’s Most Neglected Theme: Secret Combinations” “Secret Combinations: A Practical Guide to...

World news? Insignificant. And who cares about the outcome of tonight’s BYU football game? It seems of no importance at all compared to this exciting dispatch from TMZ Sports: “Mormon Missionary Pounds Pupusas in El Salvador . . . Dominates Eating Contest!!!” In the wake of the recent American presidential election, there has been a considerable amount of discussion about the intersection of religion and politics. It seems to me that the passage immediately below offers a very clear... Read more

In view of the Interpreter Foundation’s ever-declining productivity, its long-prophesied, eagerly anticipated, and rapidly accelerating downward spiral, the items below — posted earlier today — may perhaps represent your very last chance ever to see any trace of its existence. Unless, of course, you look in again next week. Or next month. Or next year. “Interviews with Ben Spackman and Samuel T. Wilkinson” On 18 October 2024, Daniel Peterson interviewed Ben Spackman, a Latter-day Saint historian of religion, science,... Read more

Surely the long-predicted demise of the Interpreter Foundation must be very near at hand. In the meanwhile, though, hopeful critics will be obliged to content themselves with its tantalizing death rattles. Here’s one of them, which appeared today: “Video and Audio Recordings are Now Available for the 2024 Temple on Mount Zion Conference” Audio and video recordings of the presentations at the 2024 Temple on Mount Zion Conference are now available. They may be accessed at https://interpreterfoundation.org/conferences/2024-temple-on-mount-zion-conference/videos/. A playlist... Read more

The following note went out yesterday to the subscriber list of the Interpreter Foundation. I’ve redacted it slightly, so as not to make public the contact information of the Interpreter volunteer who is overseeing this matter. I don’t want to expose him or her to the tender mercies of the obsessive critics who monitor my blog every day and who continually seek to exploit it as a weapon.

We closed our sacrament meeting today with a song that will eventually appear in the new revised hymnal of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It’s generally known under the title of “It is Well with My Soul,” but it also goes by the beginning of its first line: “When Peace, Like a River”: When peace like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know It...
