Is there a “you” in you?

Newly posted on the perpetually somnolent website of the Interpreter Foundation: “Hugh Nibley Observed: Nibley as an Apologist,” written by Daniel C. Peterson “Listening to that very generous introduction, I’m reminded of a time when I was asked to chair or moderate a session in which Professor Nibley was speaking. I was sitting next to him when someone gave a prayer, and the prayer went on and on and on and on about what a great privilege it was... Read more

Here is a trio of new items on the website of the Interpreter Foundation. I hope that you’ll enjoy them: “Not by Bread Alone Episode 2: An Impossible Meeting with Mobutu” This episode tells the story of how an unlikely series of events that began with a Congolese man named BULA led to a four-hour lunch meeting at Gbadolite, the remote palatial estate of MOBUTU SESE SEKO, the former ruler of the DR Congo. In that 12 February 1986... Read more

The Prophet Joseph Smith is well known to have declared that The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it. (History of the Church, 3:30) On the other hand, one claim that is often advanced by skeptics and other critics of Christianity... Read more

A Sunday walk back and forth along the road to Emmaus

We had our special Easter service today, and it was an excellent one. We enjoyed various musical numbers on piano and violin, as well as a children’s choir and the ward choir and a very good talk by one of our sisters. For me, the male quartet singing Keith and Kristyn Getty’s “In Christ Alone” was worth the price of admission all by itself. You can listen to a performance of it online by, umm, a kind of male...

I hope that people out there are not so confused as to be unable to decide which holiday they should celebrate tomorrow: “Biden Proclaims Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’” Both of my grandfathers died well before I was born. Both of my grandmothers died when I was five years old. I’ve always envied friends who were able to get to know, and to make memories of, their grandparents. I don’t think that I have any actual memories of... Read more

Notes on Easter and Good Friday

As has been our tradition at the Interpreter Foundation for most of our existence, today — Good Friday — we have published a devotional essay for Easter. Unfortunately, I’m the author (and the audio narrator) of today’s essay, which is entitled “Christ is Risen! Truly, He is Risen!” The person who was slated to write the Interpreter Foundation’s Easter message this year suffered a family emergency and, in the end, was unable to complete the essay in time for...
