“Poured Out Upon Us: The Holy Spirit<\/b><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology invites paper proposals on any aspect of Mormon belief, including its philosophical ramifications. We particularly encourage submissions on this year’s theme.<\/p>\n

When Joseph Smith was asked by the President of the United States about the differences between Mormonism and \u201cthe other religions of the day,\u201d he responded that \u201call other considerations were contained in the gift of the Holy Ghost.\u201d Mormons look to the Holy Spirit for both prophetic authority and individual faith, as a source of daily guidance and transformative power. Descriptions of the Holy Spirit in personal terms of speaking, feeling emotion, or acting are sparse in the scriptures, compared with other members of the Godhead. Yet reliance on the functions of this \u201cpersonage of spirit\u201d (D&C 130:22) is pervasive in Mormon practice. <\/p>\n

Topics falling under this theme might include but are not limited to:<\/p>\n

the Spirit’s relation to the Father and Son
\ngifts of the spirit
\nscriptural descriptions of the Holy Ghost
\nthe Holy Spirit and the Light of Christ
\nthe Holy Spirit and the Spirit of the Lord
\nthe power of the Holy Ghost and the gift of the Holy Ghost
\naccounts of the Spirit by figures such as Joseph Fielding Smith or Bruce R. McConkie
\nthe body as a temple of the Holy Ghost
\nthe role of the Spirit in the plan of salvation
\nthe baptism of fire
\nbeing quickened by the Spirit
\nthe promptings of the Spirit
\ndenying the Holy Ghost\n<\/div>\n
\nSubmission deadline: November 27, 2016<\/div>\n

Papers on the conference theme are particularly encouraged, but proposals on any aspect of Mormon belief will receive full consideration.<\/p>\n

Authors may submit either a full paper or an abstract. Papers should be suitable for a reading time of 25-30 minutes. (3500 words maximum) An abstract should be 300-500 words in length. It should include both a working thesis and an outline of the reasoning to support it. Descriptions of the topic or methods of the paper are relevant but not complete by themselves.<\/p>\n
