Hinderaker, Amorette. “\u201cIt was Nothing That was Super Subversive\u201d: Resistance as a Narrative Process in Dialectical Identity Spaces Among Mothers of LGBTQ+ Children in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” Communication Studies<\/i> (2024): 1-22.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This study examines resistance and identity dialectics among mothers of LGBTQ+ children in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Narrative theme analysis of in-depth interviews with 22 members of Mama Dragons, a nonprofit advocacy organization, revealed voiced identities (Mother, Latter-day Saint, LGBTQ+ Mother, and Dragon\/Advocate) conceptualized as existing on a coordinate plane that measures voice (individual or organizational), and ways of knowing (ontological or experiential). Findings advance a view of dialectical resistance that moves beyond current understandings of an alternating control-resistance dialectic, suggesting that the process of resisting happens between storied identities. This study extends the exploration of resistance beyond organizational boundaries, suggesting that where totalistic organizational values bleed into the core identity (e.g. faith values), resistance is undertaken against not only the organization but often formerly held antenarrative versions of the self.<\/p>\n

Background. The Philippine General Hospital (PGH) is a tertiary government hospital that serves as the national referral center for Filipinos from across the country. In partnership with Latter-Day Saint Charities (LDSC), PGH has been serving patients in need of mobility devices, such as wheelchairs, through in-person services from screening to assessment, measurement, assembly, fitting, and mobility training. Given the patients\u2019 barriers to in-person follow-up consultations, regular healthcare provision has been challenging. The use of telerehabilitation, a form of telemedicine, has emerged as a practical and innovative solution, but it needs further evaluation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Calvert, Isaac, Spencer C. Weiler, and Brady Stimpson. “Releasing financial pressure through released time religious education: the fiscal impact of one released time programme on a state\u2019s funding for public education.” British Journal of Religious Education<\/i> (2024): 1-9.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We sought to quantify the fiscal impact of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints\u2019 released time programme in the state of Utah, in the United States of America, on funding for American public education. The guiding research question for this study was: How much money does the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints\u2019 seminary programme save public education in the state of Utah? We collected data from one school district in Utah and then extrapolated those findings, on a per pupil basis, to the entire state. Findings are reported in three approximates of the actual fiscal impact of the Church\u2019s seminary programme in Utah: high, medium, and low. Our conclusion is that the actual fiscal impact of seminary on funding for public education lies within this reported range. We report that the Church\u2019s seminary programme saves the state of Utah between $45,000,000 and $64,000,000 annually. While these figures only constitute 0.6% to 0.8% of the total funding for public education, this released time programme provides district officials with financial and scheduling flexibility. In addition, there are indirect fiscal benefits associated with seminary as well as direct and indirect costs.<\/p>\n

Coyne, Sarah M., Ashley LeBaron-Black, Jane Shawcroft, Megan Gale, J. Andan Sheppard, Chenae Christensen-Duerden, and Megan Van Alfen. “The Heavenly Mother Artwork Project.” SquareTwo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although many non-Christian religions believe in female goddesses, the belief in a Heavenly Mother is a \u201ccherished and distinctive belief among Latter-day Saints,\u201d and few other Christian religions acknowledge a female deity. While members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have a strong belief in the actuality of a Heavenly Mother, historically, there has not been much elaboration on this point of doctrine. However, interest among this figure in the lay community has surged in the last decade\u2014particularly among its women members\u2014resulting in numerous theological examinations, literary musings, and visual representations. Indeed, depictions of Heavenly Mother have increased exponentially within this time frame and some members report feeling that the visual arts are an appropriate terrain in which to explore her attributes, powers, and roles. Recent studies by Kayla Bach and Charlotte Shurtz suggest, based on members\u2019 self-reports, that art provides an important means for believers to draw nearer to her.<\/p>\n

Convinced that a large-scale, data-driven study of this phenomenon was in order, in 2020 we put together a team of researchers from across several disciplines who could combine expertise in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting its development. As authors, our goal is not to speculate or state anything about the doctrine, role, activity, or purpose of Heavenly Mother. We refer interested readers to the Gospel Topics essay on Heavenly Mother for a discussion of those themes.2 Instead, we aim to examine how Latter-day Saint artists portray Her and how this might be a reflection of the cultural climate among Church members. After identifying 505 artworks with the subject of Heavenly Mother and surveying as many of the artists as possible (approximately 50% provided data), these images were coded for an initial round of content analysis, considering components such as bodily characteristics (age, race, and body type); the use of formal elements such as light and color; dress and symbols; activities and events; contexts; and relational elements (e.g., inclusion of other divine figures such as Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ). The specific data derived from analysis of the visual attributes of Heavenly Mother-related art suggest discernable patterns of representation. These representational patterns, in turn, speak to broader cultural trends within the Latter-day Saint Church, including globalization and the increasing value placed on parity, inclusion, and belonging. But perhaps the most noteworthy aspect to this project is that it quantifies the number of artworks devoted to Heavenly Mother in the last ten years\u2014a number that suggests interest among the Latter-day Saint community to acknowledge and reflect on Her\u2014and that art is viewed as an efficacious space to express and meet these desires.<\/p>\n

Burt, Henry. “Perfectionism and the Threat of Grace: Reimagining Theological Principles for Healing.” Journal of Pastoral Theology<\/i> (2024): 1-17.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this discussion, I provide a perspective on perfectionism as a spiritual struggle in such a way that challenges the consoling nature of grace. Through the case studies of a Mormon housewife, Martin Luther, and myself, I illuminate the conundrum found in a Law to \u2018be perfect,\u2019 on the one hand, and the Gospel\u2014interpreted as a \u2018Law\u2019 to receive grace\u2014on the other. The predicament I seek to address is: how is the perfectionist to placate both of these competing \u2018Laws\u2019? I suggest that a troublesome theology of Law and Gospel from the viewpoint of the perfectionist can be redeemed in service to them by employing Luther\u2019s theology of \u2018new decalogues.\u2019 Luther\u2019s concept, contextualized to the perfectionist, affirms the creativity they might apply to their theology with respect to conflicting perfectionistic concerns and strivings so that grace, in a new light, might have a fuller effect in their life.<\/p>\n

Dalton. “Immigrant Religious Communities in an Anti-Catholic Context: Mormons and Mennonites Petition the Mexican State, 1928\u20131936.” In Anti-Catholicism in the Mexican Revolution, 1913-1940<\/i>, pp. 213-235. University of New Mexico Press, 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Significant conflict emerged in Mexico over the role of religion in public life in the 1920s and 1930s, culminating in the 1926\u20131929 Cristero War, and over the implementation of free public education for all that continued well into the 1930s. The national government mandated secularism, and yet it faced a population that was overwhelmingly Catholic. At the same time, there were groups of people in the country who were religious\u2014but not Catholic\u2014and who experienced officially imposed anti-Catholic policies in different ways than other Mexicans.1 This chapter will consider the experiences of two such groups, Mormons and Mennonites, who came to Mexico from the United States and Canada seeking religious freedom in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.2 Examining how Mexico \u2019s federal government related to members of these religious minorities expands the scope of anti-Catholicism as a general phenomenon, moving toward what Butler describes in his afterward to this volume as a catholic (all-encompassing) definition of anti-Catholicism. This chapter is in dialogue with other chapters in this volume, as well as Liminal Sovereignty, where I elaborated on how state policy relating to immigration and land redistribution programs occasionally favored Mormons and Mennonites and viewed them as a way to modernize or improve the country.3 The Mexican government may have viewed the members of these foreign, religious communities as allies to building an anti-Catholic order. On other occasions, as I show in this chapter, Mexican state leaders and bureaucrats viewed these religious minorities unfavorably, perhaps because their members belonged to non-Mexican, religious organizations, and these organizations often tried to carry out functions that the state had reserved for itself. I then analyze interactions between Mormon men and Rebecca Janzen 214 the government about issues around education, water, and taxation because it compliments research that I have done about land conflict between Mennonites , Mormons, and the Mexican government during this period and how each group imagined national belonging and citizenship depending on the situation.<\/p>\n

The principle of modesty is one highlighted in many religions and can be a controversial practice. However, little research has examined how this principle is taught by religious communities and how it relates to body esteem among individuals. The current study consisted of two studies aimed to examine modesty and body esteem in a sample of religious individuals (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Study 1 involved a qualitative study of 111 individuals who reported a number of principles and practices surrounding modesty. Perceptions of the teaching of modesty were mixed, with participants reporting having better body esteem when teaching involved principles instead of focusing on practices. Study 2 was a quantitative study of 1,333 religious individuals. Again, body esteem tended to be higher when modesty was discussed using principles as opposed to practices and strict dress codes. Implications for religious leaders, parents, individuals, and clinicians are discussed.<\/p>\n

Jelinek, Lauren. “INTERACTIONS BETWEEN APACHES AND MORMONS ON A FRONTIER LANDSCAPE.” From the book Contemporary Archaeologies of the Southwest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using documentary evidence, oral traditions, and archaeological remains, in this <\/span>chapter I examine a brief period of interaction between the White Mountain <\/span>Apache and Mormon colonists in the Forestdale Valley of Arizona. Archaeological <\/span>evidence and oral traditions support the claim that Apache people reoccupied <\/span>the homes of the Mormon colonists after their expulsion. This may have been a <\/span>symbolic as well as a practical act. Shortly thereafter the settlement was burned, <\/span>resulting in the erasure of the physical evidence of a Mormon occupation. The <\/span>complexities of Forestdale as a symbol to both groups are revealed through the <\/span>interplay of social memory and silences in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kraus, Spencer. “\u201cOne Drop of Salvation from the House of Majesty\u201d: An Analysis of the Revelation of the Magi and Restoration Scripture.” Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship<\/i> 61, no. 1 (2024): 13.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An early Christian text called the Revelation of the Magi
\npresents itself as a history of the Magi before and after the birth of
\nJesus Christ. This text offers important insights into how the early
\nChristian world may have conceptualized how other nations outside
\nof Israel similarly looked forward to the advent of the Messiah, how
\nthey worshiped God, and how they knew who their Savior would be.
\nThe Book of Mormon similarly presents itself as text written by early
\nbelievers in Jesus Christ. It is centered primarily around two civiliza-
\ntions outside the land of Israel who knew who Jesus was, worshiped
\nhim, and prophesied about him. Both texts begin with similar premises,
\nand each shares a remarkable level of consistency in matters of doc-
\ntrine and narrative. Furthermore, the Revelation of the Magi contains
\ncitations from a book of Adam that have striking similarities to details
\nrevealed in other Restoration scripture regarding Adam and his chil-
\ndren. While the Revelation of the Magi is not scripture, it is nonethe-
\nless a text that many modern readers will find beneficial in highlighting
\nbeliefs of early Christians.<\/p>\n

Goff, Alan. “The Plagiary of the Daughters of the Lamanites.” Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship<\/i>61, no. 1 (2024): 6.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Repetition is a feature of all ancient Hebraic narrative.
\nModern readers may misunderstand this quality of biblical and Book
\nof Mormon narrative. Biblical and Book of Mormon writers believed
\nthat history repeated, with what happened to the ancestors hap-
\npening again to their posterity. Fawn Brodie and her acolytes misap-
\nprehend Book of Mormon narrative when\u2014instead of at least pro-
\nvisionally granting that God might exist, can intervene in history, and
\ntenaciously reenacts events from the past while the recorders of such
\nrepeated stories firmly believed in the historical reality of the narra-
\ntives they recounted\u2014they attribute such repeated stories to Joseph
\nSmith\u2019s imputed plagiaristic tendencies. The story of the kidnapping of
\nthe Lamanite daughters by the priests of Noah (Mosiah 20) is a recur-
\nrence of the story of the mass kidnapping of the daughters of Shiloh
\n(Judges 21), but to attribute such similarity to plagiarism by Joseph
\nSmith is a grand and flagrant misreading of Hebraic narrative, its per-
\nsistent allusive qualities, and its repetitive historiography. Such narra-
\ntives were widespread in Levantine and classical antiquity, and neither
\nancient historians nor modern scholars take the relationship among
\nsuch analogous stories to be one of plagiarism when their antiquity is
\nundisputed. At least one additional construal of the Book of Mormon
\nstory\u2019s meaning needs to be explored and considered against the
\nbackdrop of Hebraic narrative.<\/p>\n

Stenson, Matthew Scott. “\u201cThis Stone Shall Become the Great, and the Last, and the Only Sure Foundation\u201d: A Nephite Poetics of Dramatic Fusion and Transfer in Jacob 5.” Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship<\/i>61, no. 1 (2024): 18.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this study, three intersecting images are traced through
\nthe small plates until Jacob 5, where they directly (or by implication)
\nculminate in the final section of Zenos\u2019s allegory. The three images
\nappear fused together in Nephi\u2019s and Jacob\u2019s writings. Specifically,
\nthis literary study tracks the images of the olive vineyard, the sheep-
\nfold and pasture, and the cornerstone or rock foundation. These
\noddly fused (or adjacent) images, though complexly employed, can
\nbe understood best as representing not only Christ but a gospel-cen-
\ntered record to be revealed by him. Fundamental to this reading is the
\nidea that the Good Shepherd gathers his sheep by means of a stone
\nor rock comparable to the gospel of Christ. In making this case, it is
\nhelpful to compare related texts such as 2 Nephi 25 and 3 Nephi 27.
\nThe value of this analysis is to demonstrate a unity amidst complexity
\nin the aesthetic of the Book of Mormon and to offer alternative read-
\nings of certain scriptures, especially Jacob 5. Zenos\u2019s allegory is read
\nhere as tragicomedy and as one locus for the aforementioned images.<\/p>\n

Jones, Clifford P. “Review of Two New Theories about the Lamanite Mark Recently Presented in Two Different Forums.” Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship<\/i>61, no. 1 (2024): 10.<\/strong><\/p>\n

T. J. Uriona has offered two new theories about the mean-
\ning of Nephi\u2019s term \u201cskin of blackness\u201d in 2 Nephi 5:21. He suggests
\nthat Nephi\u2019s term may indicate impending death and\/or it may be a lit-
\neral reference to diseased or deathly skin. Both theories are based on
\na motif in an ancient Neo-Assyrian treaty that curses people to have
\nskin as black as pitch and crude oil. I submit that these two theories
\nare inconsistent with the larger context in the Book of Mormon.<\/p>\n

Grant Hardy has shown that Nephi, Mormon, and Moroni
\nhave distinctive personalities, rhetorical strategies, implied readers,
\nand thematic concerns. Mormon lived within history and wrote as a
\nhistorian. He focused on the particulars of time and place and person,
\non political and military matters. But, Hardy says, Mormon lacked audi-
\nence awareness. I argue Mormon\u2019s historiography was well adapted
\nto the needs of his initial envisioned audience, the Alma family. Moroni,
\nwho lived most of his life outside of history, wrote intertextually, in dia-
\nlog with voices speaking from the dust. And he wrote as a theologian
\nespecially attuned to the tragedy of human existence without God.
\nUnlike his father, Moroni was a reluctant and, initially, untrained writer.
\nHis initial lack of confidence and competence and his growth as a
\nwriter and as a person are apparent in the five different endings for
\nthe Book of Mormon that he successively inscribed over the course of
\nhis life. Moroni\u2019s ultimate model as he so effectively closed the large-
\nplates record was Amaleki, last author of the small plates. This article
\ncritiques Hardy\u2019s assessment of Mormon\u2019s and extends his account of
\nMoroni\u2019s rhetorical effectiveness.<\/p>\n

This article explores issues with past suggestions concerning the
\netymology of the name Cumorah and suggests a slightly updated etymology,
\n\u201cRise up, O Light of the Lord.\u201d It then suggests that Book of Mormon
\nreferences to the Hill Cumorah appear to confirm the proposed etymology,
\nthus becoming an apt description of the Restoration.<\/p>\n

The word \u201ctruth\u201d has for practical purposes lost one of its original
\nEnglish-language meanings, and this has significant implications for
\nunderstanding scriptures. The obvious, well- understood meaning is that
\nwhich is real or factual. However, the earliest meaning in English is that
\nwhich is true in an entirely different way, in the sense of fidelity, loyalty,
\nand faithfulness. The King James translators frequently used \u201ctruth\u201d in this
\nlatter sense. The sense of \u201ctruth\u201d as \u201cfaithfulness\u201d remained well known
\nin the nineteenth century. Some passages in the Book of Mormon and
\nother Restoration scriptures reveal deeper insights when read with this
\nunderstanding. Pondering both meanings of \u201ctruth\u201d in the scriptures can
\nserve as a source of inspiration and learning.<\/p>\n

Squire, Derek. “The Literary Structure of Alma 17\u201320: A 14-Unit Chiasm.” Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship<\/i> 60, no. 1 (2024): 5.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This article is an analysis of the literary structure of Alma 17\u201320.
\nThese four chapters in the current Book of Mormon were originally a single
\nchapter in the first edition of the Book of Mormon (originally, chapter
\n12). The current article describes a process and rationale that was used to
\nidentify several major literary units whose structure is no longer obvious
\nwith the division into four chapters. The original literary structure appears
\nto have been written as a 14-part chiasm in which the matching units share
\nmany strong links and parallels. According to this analysis, the central
\nunits of this chiasm highlight the turning point of the narrative. Ammon
\npreaches the gospel to King Lamoni, and Lamoni then proceeds to cry unto
\nthe Lord for mercy upon himself and his people. Thousands of Lamanites
\nthen repent and are converted unto the Lord. This critical episode in the
\nBook of Mormon had far-reaching and long-lasting effects. It now appears
\nthat Mormon carefully structured this episode to help readers remember
\nkey events that transpired and to highlight its importance as a hinge point
\nin Nephite\/Lamanite history.<\/p>\n

Heavenly ascent describes the process of an individual (or
\ncommunity) returning to the presence of God. Though various elements exist
\nwithin heavenly ascent literature, general patterns can be discerned. This
\nproject uses one such pattern as a hermeneutical tool to examine what can
\nbe learned about how Book of Mormon prophets may have understood the
\nplan of salvation. Specifically, Jacob\u2019s understanding of the plan of salvation
\nwill be analyzed by examining his writings in 2 Nephi 9\u201310. The evidence
\nfrom this study suggests that some Book of Mormon prophets (at least Jacob
\nand Nephi) viewed the plan of salvation through the lens of heavenly ascent.<\/p>\n

Belnap, David M., and Nalini M. Nadkarni. “Trees and the Love of God.” Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship<\/i> 60, no. 1 (2024): 12.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trees play real and metaphorical roles in the beliefs and holy
\nscriptures of many world religions, and believers and non-believers
\nthroughout the world are uplifted spiritually by trees. In the Book of
\nMormon, a tree with delicious, sweet fruit appeared in two visions and one
\nparable. Respectively, the tree represents the love of God as seen through
\nthe life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ and symbolizes spiritual growth as one
\nexperimentally nourishes faith from a seed. Trees and fruit in the world
\naround us can remind us of important lessons from these teachings and
\nhelp keep us focused on the Lord because trees embody godly attributes and
\nillustrate righteous principles. Trees and God\u2019s love are universal, meant
\nto be dispersed, beautiful, long-lasting or eternal, strong, gifts, providers
\nof bounty, givers of joy, and sources of shelter and comfort. From trees, we
\nlearn to shun pride, have proper priorities, be patient and persevering, keep
\ngrowing spiritually, be well-rooted, and pursue spirituality. Trees kindle
\nawe, reverence, and love in us. Whenever we see a tree or eat fruit or nuts
\nfrom a tree, we can be reminded of God\u2019s love and to choose righteousness.
\nTrees can inspire us to continue nurturing our spiritual growth; by doing so,
\nour lives can be monumental like trees.<\/p>\n

While, for understandable reasons, Protestant Christendom
\ntends to downplay the question, the more ancient Christian churches
\nhave historically placed considerable weight on what is often termed
\n\u201capostolic succession.\u201d The Catholic church, for instance, strongly
\naffirms the \u201cprimacy of Peter\u201d and the status of the Bishop of Rome,
\nthe Pope, as ancient Peter\u2019s lineal successor. Curiously, perhaps, The
\nChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, although it was founded
\non the American frontier in the early nineteenth century, takes a view of
\nthe matter that crucially resembles the Catholic viewpoint more than
\nit does a western Protestant one. But the Latter-day Saint view differs
\ndramatically on the history of the apostolic succession and, accord-
\ningly, on the identity of the modern successors to the ancient apostles.<\/p>\n
