I got a Kindle a few weeks ago, and my affection for it is quickly approaching idolatry. But we aren’t going to talk about that right now; we’re going to talk about how to Mormon-Studies-geek out your ereader. Here’s what I have found so far; I expect you to add to the fun.<\/p>\n

The Digital Collections<\/a> at the HBL Library has all manner of awesomeness, including out of print books from the Religious Studies Center, BYU Studies, the Woman’s Exponent, and the Journal of Discourses.<\/p>\n

Sunstone<\/a> has complete back issues for download.<\/p>\n

Dialogue<\/a> has complete back issues for download.<\/p>\n

This website<\/a> has a nice listing of materials for the study of Biblical Hebrew that you can download.<\/p>\n

I haven’t really looked at the Biblical Greek resources available, but this<\/a> looks interesting.<\/p>\n

This<\/a> is a decent bible commentary, considering how thorough and how free it is. A little too conservative for me, which probably means a good fit for most of you. ;)<\/p>\n

The Church<\/a> itself has a nice collection of official materials for download.<\/p>\n

The Eugene England Foundation<\/a> has made a bunch of his writings available just this last week.
\n
\nSignature Books<\/a> has lots of great stuff, but I wish they’d make it easier to download.<\/p>\n

And, of course, all sorts of interesting old stuff is in the public domain, including the Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I can remember about two decades ago, sitting in my dorm room at UT and being enthralled by the arrival of a catalog–merely a few pages long–from Signature Books: look at all of those titles! For a mere $25 plus shipping each! It is truly an amazing time for Mormon Studies geeks . . . the variety of materials, the fact that most of them are free and all of them are instantly available, even to those of us living in “the mission field.” <\/p>\n

I swoon.<\/p>\n

And return to my reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
