Thousands leaving the LDS Church over the Documentary Hypothesis

Last updated on: December 2, 2012 at 5:42 pm By RT

Reports have come to FPR that currently there is a massive exodus from the church underway on account of members discovering that their leaders have been shielding them from critical biblical scholarship on the Pentateuch. The realization that the ancient literature that constitutes the first five books of the Old Testament is not history in the modern sense of the word and that the various documents and sources that make up its individual components were written to promote certain ideological...

Mormons and Palestinians: Justice and only Justice

Last updated on: November 24, 2012 at 7:17 pm By RT

With the tragic recent escalation of conflict in Israel-Palestine, my thoughts have turned to experiences I had while living there, first as a naive undergraduate for a semester abroad at the BYU Jerusalem Center and then later as a visiting graduate student at the Hebrew University. My first experience was eye-opening and really life-changing in terms of providing an impetus to developing a more critical and reflective perspective on religion and my own faith in particular. Through merely a process... Read more

Rorty on Truth

Last updated on: March 24, 2013 at 10:19 am By Chris Henrichsen

I do not go as far as the late Richard Rorty when it comes to “truth.” I do believe that their is such a thing as truth, I just find almost all claims to such truth to be utter rubbish. It is largely because of Rorty that I have come to this point. I personally think that we are rarely interested in truth. Instead, we are merely deeply committed to defended certain narratives about “truth.” Like Rorty, I feel that... Read more

Petreius

Last updated on: November 14, 2012 at 3:52 pm By oudenos

I’m totally disappointed that learned, waggish friends on social media are not talking more about Marcus Petreius. I mean the dude’s name and his “career” suicide along with his proven military chops against insurgents and his open sympathies with the (lost) Republican cause are begging to be snark-mined. Facebook is just so hoi polloi these days. Sigh. As a concession to the masses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Petreius Those who don’t learn history are bound to blah, blah, blah, and all that.

Letting the Nibley Family defend Nibley

Last updated on: November 14, 2012 at 11:17 pm By Chris Henrichsen

I had originally intended to start a series of posts on Hugh Nibley I have been a bit busy…and I have given up on Mormon Studies. So while I will continue to find inspiration from Nibley, it will not be a focus of my writings or research. Nor will I have time to do the project justice. Do not despair! Over the last few months, the Nibley family has been bringing us some deep and personal insights into the real... Read more

my stab at proper balance between the intellectual and the spiritual, for now anyway

Last updated on: October 18, 2012 at 10:23 pm By gwesley

Here’s the other post in the series so far and where you’ll also find a link to the series announcement. “What is your philosophy of Religious Education and what should be the proper balance between the intellectual and the spiritual in BYU Religion classes?” This is a very important question that I wish could be discussed more, and more openly, throughout the church at all levels. Because it does not just concern students in religious education classes at church schools.... Read more

Faith, Scholarship, and Teaching at BYU Series

Last updated on: October 16, 2012 at 6:24 am By theyellowdart

For the series announcement and the question to which I am replying, see here. I believe that the dichotomy between the “intellectual” and the “spiritual” in religious education is a false one. Instead, I would prefer to appropriate for my approach to this important issue the German adjective geistlich (or Hebrew ruchi): a word that sees the spiritual and the intellectual as part of a synthetic whole that also includes an appreciation for the aesthetic. I believe that by adopting... Read more

Series Announcement: Faith, Scholarship, and Teaching at BYU

Last updated on: October 15, 2012 at 1:20 pm By TT

It is academic job application season and for the last little while Church History and Docrine at BYU has been including an interesting and thought-provoking question as part of the application process. In addition to traditional application materials, the job advertisement asks for: …a statement (no more than 500 words) regarding your philosophy of integration of faith and reason in your scholarship and teaching. President Spencer W. Kimball charged BYU professors to “become ‘bilingual’ in speaking the language of scholarship... Read more
