My most recent article for Meridian Magazine has now gone up: “The Journey to the Earliest Book of Mormon Text: Royal Skousen’s 36-year Project.” I hope to see y9u on Saturday, 10 August 2024, between twelve o’clock noon and 3 PM. I also hope that you will enjoy this new series of short video features from the Interpreter Foundation and that, if you do, you’ll share them further. Here is the latest, entitled “Oliver Cowdery was sincere” and featuring... Read more

“Stephen Burnett versus the Eight Witnesses”

I want to call this new article to your attention: Neal Rappleye and Stephen O. Smoot, “Stephen Burnett versus the Eight Witnesses: An Exercise in Mature Historical Thinking,” Religious Educator 25/2 (2024). Stephen Burnett has long been a favorite weapon among critics of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often deployed (especially by the secularist variety of critics) against the credibility of not only the Eight Witnesses to the Book of Mormon but even that of the...

The reviews of Six Days in August continue to roll in from The Usual Suspects. And, of course, they’re all negative — and, also of course, none of the reviewers has actually seen it. (Who says there’s no such thing as prophecy?) The film is shallow and dishonest propaganda, plodding and dull, a whitewashed pseudo-history, embarrassing and amateurish, with a stilted and pretentious script, and already, months before its final completion (to say nothing of its scheduled theatrical release),...

In sacrament meeting on Sunday morning, my ward sang one of the new hymns that will eventually be included in the revised hymnal of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is entitled “Bread of Life, Living Water.” Along with many other such hymns and, for that matter, very many other aspects our belief and practice, I think that lyrics such as these of “Bread of Life, Living Water” place those who seek to depict us as...

One of the great moments at the current Summer Olympics in Paris, one of the most impressive displays of heroism, was not an athletic one. It had nothing directly to do with sports, and it won’t — alas! — win a gold medal. It was Céline Dion singing “Hymne à l’amour,” a song that was originally made famous by the great Édith Piaf (1915-1963), at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Coincidentally, as I’m writing this, a television drama... Read more

A new Interpreter Foundation video short was posted earlier today. Entitled “The Book of Mormon Came from Somewhere!” it features Professor Steven C. Harper of Brigham Young University: Please give it a quick look and, if you like what you see, please share it with others! We want to get these out among the people. Incidentally, while I’m at it, did you see Professor Harper in the still fairly recent Scripture Central video “Who Actually Saw the Gold Plates? |... Read more

Utahns and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be aware of the fact that today, 24 July, is Pioneer Day. It commemorates the 1847 entry into the Valley of the Great Salt Lake of Brigham Young and the vanguard company of the “Mormon pioneers.” Not coincidentally, the Interpreter Foundation released the trailer for its forthcoming theatrical film Six Days in August today, on Pioneer Day. I hope that you will enjoy it and that,... Read more
