Keith Lane in particular is someone I always enjoy listening to. If you’re in the Boston area I’d suggest checking it out.<\/p>\n

In addition the 2018 SMPT Conference is announced. It’ll be at Utah State again on March 15-17. I’m going to do my best to attend this year given how I’ve missed more than I wish.<\/p>\n

This year’s theme is “The Exaltation Revelations” although they’ll consider any paper on Mormon belief. Quoting from the Call for Papers<\/a><\/p>\n

Many of the most distinctive Latter-day Saint teachings appear in a series of revelations received in 1832-33, and recorded in Doctrine and Covenants sections 76, 84, 88, and 93. Richard Bushman has called these the \u201cexaltation revelations,\u201d in reference to the state of the righteous in the celestial kingdom. These revelations clarify the nature and basis of salvation and exaltation, the order of the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods, the eternal nature of humankind, and the role of the church in the last days. While they draw continually on themes and language of the Bible, the exaltation revelations establish Mormonism as a dramatic departure from the prevailing Christian theology of the time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The submission deadline in January 15th so if you plan on submitting a paper I’d get to work on it. I’m sure we’ll discuss it more as we get closer to the conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
