A Mormon Image: Memorial
A Mormon Image | November 11, 2009
from Bill of Wasilla, who writes:
Dad is the man who lies in this flag-draped coffin. I will not say too much about him for now, except that he was a good father and that, thanks to him, and many more like him, most of them gone now, the evil dream of a man named Hitler died in flames and blood.
We buried Dad on June 2, 2007. He died on Memorial Day.
A Mormon Image: Guardian Angel
A Mormon Image | November 4, 2009
This is a statue of an angel in the cemetery where my first baby is burried. I like that she’s smiling. Death is heartbreaking but it’s not only sad. I am also filled with hope when I think about my son. He is alive and happy and we can be an eternal family. It has always been such a comfort to know that.

A Mormon Image: Preparing for the Wedding Reception
A Mormon Image | October 20, 2009
Photo by L-s Sus, who writes:
The picture is of my wife and son and was taken at my sister’s wedding. It captures many themes that resonate with my concept of Mormon identity: Family, Motherhood, Nurturing, and Beauty. It also reminds me that we have benevolent heavenly parents who reach down and give assistance, and that we are just children in the grand scheme of things.

And we’d like to include all of you in this project. That is, we’re inviting you all [...]
Holland and the gap, again
Rosalynde Welch | October 8, 2009
Leaving aside disagreements about Elder Holland’s tone and speculations about the talk’s effect on believers and skeptics—not that those are unimportant, but that they’re being vigorously played out elsewhere—I want to make a narrow point about the philosophical underpinnings* of his talk.

Royal Skousen’s 12 questions — The Critical Text Version
Frank McIntyre | October 3, 2009
Last month we posted Royal Skousen’s discussion of his work on recovering the earliest version of the Book of Mormon, along with some updates. Unfortunately, that post garnered some annoying formatting problems — mostly due to the new format T&S adopted this year. We’re happy to now present to you mark III of Royal Skousen’s [...]
Divine Comedy, Divine Tragedy
Ben Huff | September 24, 2009
The Bible, as we have received it, sets out the drama of salvation with its wrenching fall and crucifixion, but joyous resurrection and exaltation. Though its compilation is in many ways ad hoc, there is a satisfyingly comedic structure to the whole. As Terryl Givens puts it in his The Book of Mormon: A Very [...]
Some Notes on the New Spanish LDS Bible
Kent Larsen | September 18, 2009
My copy of the new LDS edition of the Bible in Spanish arrived yesterday, one of the 750,000 copies printed recently (according to a contact I have in the Church department that prints these materials). So I thought I would pass on my impressions.

12 Questions and a Book by Royal Skousen
Frank McIntyre | September 6, 2009

His book, The Book of Mormon: The Earliest Text, is being published in September by Yale University Press [...]

What I Found Interesting and Unusual in the Pew Report
Kent Larsen | July 28, 2009
For Pioneer Day, the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religious & Public Life released its report on Mormonism, based on responses to its 2007 Religious Landscape Survey. I was surprised that the initial coverage was so mundane, but when I read the report, so many details were fascinating!

Marriage and gender roles
Rebecca Smylie | July 18, 2009
I suppose we have Mark Sanford to thank for the recent frenzy of articles about marriage (or was it Jon and Kate?). There’s Caitlin Flanagan’s piece in Time, Aaron Traister at Salon.com, the Women’s Day/AOL living survey, Amanda Fortini wondering “why would anyone submit to the doomed delusion that is marriage?” No surprise then that [...]

Bridget Jack Meyers | July 16, 2009
(See my disclaimer in Part 1 concerning the title)
So, let’s discuss some of the less-acknowledged ways Mormons and evangelicals are alike. First we’ll start with things in evangelical thought which bear an unexpected resemblance to LDS thought.
Favorite Lessons from my Favorite (reformed) Harlot
Rebecca Smylie | July 13, 2009
Incidentally, Jewish tradition lists Rahab the Harlot (of Joshua 2) as one of the four most beautiful women in the Bible. That’s only one of the reasons I like her.

Worshipping a dead law
Rebecca Smylie | July 7, 2009
A couple of years ago I got really interested in the Law of Moses. It’s hard to read the scriptures and miss it—particularly the Book of Mormon or the Bible. I can’t help but feel like it was the issue of the day. The thing that, for one reason or another, many members of the [...]
