- Stephen Fleming on Joseph Smith and the Ancient Theology: Conclusion: “Thanks, Bart!” Apr 1, 16:48
- on Cutting-Edge Latter-day Saint Research, March 2025: “Stephen, I think RHW refers to Real Housewives, clearly an unexplored scholarly frontier!” Apr 1, 11:09
- on Cutting-Edge Latter-day Saint Research, March 2025: “Now I’m glad one peer reviewer thought I was taking too long to get to the point of my article. I front-loaded it into the first paragraph, and now people at least know what my article is about. Thanks, anonymous reviewer! I wondered a few times if JMH would ask me for an abstract, but they never did. I could get behind a requirement for academic writing that you have to explain what you’re talking about and what the point is on the first page. RHW is probably “Real Housewives (of SLC).” I think popular culture is a valid and useful object of study that can reveal interesting things about a society, but based on the abstract, the approach taken and its vocabulary are not things I understand. I only had two graduate courses on critical theory and it was a long time ago.” Apr 1, 11:03
- on Cutting-Edge Latter-day Saint Research, March 2025: “Thanks for these posts, Stephen. They’re really useful.” Apr 1, 10:36
- on Cutting-Edge Latter-day Saint Research, March 2025: “I second the congratulations! Yes, I still think they should do abstracts, but at least with the first paragraph you kind of get the gist of what’s going on. RL: I’m afraid you’re using too many acronyms for me. Who is RHW? (I can’t tell which article you’re referring to).” Apr 1, 07:34
- on My Problem with the Trinity: “It’s true that the Bible doesn’t support Trinitarianism in any very explicit way. Fortunately, the Book of Mormon remedies that deficiency. :)” Apr 1, 07:32
- on Cutting-Edge Latter-day Saint Research, March 2025: “Critique of RHW of SLC as a topic of academic inquiry, sigh.” Apr 1, 06:38
- on Cutting-Edge Latter-day Saint Research, March 2025: “Here’s a link to a PDF of the journal with the Baibakova article: https://rsuh.ru/upload/main/vestnik/lyk/Vestnik_lyc_1(2025).pdf – the source is the “Russian State University for the Humanities Bulletin.” Thanks for including the first paragraph of JMH articles. They really do seem to just let anyone publish there these days.” Apr 1, 04:02
