“The Kingdom of God Has No Geographical Boundaries”
Some more Mormon musings on refugees: THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS NO GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES
On rule by elites and technocrats
“I’d rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.” William F. Buckley, Jr.
“Hillary Clinton Rides the Subway Just Like Normal [New York] People!”
In a bid to demonstrate that she’s jus’ plain folks, Hillary Clinton joined some of the little people for a very brief but well filmed ride on the New York City subway: http://whatstrending.com/news/21791-h... I feel a mysterious need to vote for her now. Unfortunately, though, my powers of resistance to this [Read More...]
BOM Mosiah 26
In Mosiah 26, as I’ve argued at length elsewhere, we see the rise of a church — in the sense of a volitional or intentional sub-community within the larger Nephite society — in the Book of Mormon. And it’s clear from Alma’s puzzlement, and the need for special revelation to get him out of [Read More...]
“Mormonism at Oxford and What It Signifies”
What the heck. It being Friday, Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture — which is believed in some circles to have been on its deathbed since shortly after it was founded in the late summer of 2012 — has decided to publish a second article today: Mormonism at Oxford and What It [Read More...]
“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Map: Part 1 of 2”

(But need I add that donations to the Interpreter Foundation are very welcome?) If you see nothing above, please understand that the new, [Read More...]
“About 1 in 3 Economics Studies Don’t Replicate”
I believe in the academic peer review process. I think it very useful to both authors and editors. I’ve undergone scholarly peer review many times myself. Moreover, the two Mormon-related journals with which I’ve been principally connected have used the same peer review processes that are employed in academia generally. We replicated the [Read More...]
“Mormons Approaching Orthodoxy”?
Richard J. Mouw is an extremely prominent Evangelical academic and intellectual, a genuine friend to many Latter-day Saints, and — certainly in my experiences with him — a very good and fair man. And he’s just published a serious article about his take on Mormon doctrine and on what he takes to [Read More...]
BOM Mosiah 25
Among other things, Mosiah 25 is interesting for what it tells us about the demographics of the Book of Mormon peoples. For example, we learn from verses two and three that the descendants of Mulek outnumbered the people of Nephi, but that, even taken together, the Nephites and Mulekites were less than half as [Read More...]
