Well, August has been a productive month, compared to more
recent efforts. Nonetheless, tomorrow it is back to school for me, which means
the usual acknowledge meant that blogging will become less of a priority. Given
that even over the summer, I only managed about 1 post a month, this may mean
that some months might pass without any new material, although one post a month
will still be my goal. Here are few updates relevant either to this blog, myself
personally, LDS apologetics generally, or some combination of the three:
Reviewing the Review
Recent events at the Maxwell institute have lead to a
discontinuing of the Mormon Studies
Review, at least temporarily. Since there are still many great back issues,
I will still continue to do my “Reviewing the Review” series. Whether this will
expand to any new issues in the future will be determined if and when the Review is revived.
New Online Journal Interpreter
In the wake of the recent events at the Maxwell Institute
has come a new online journal in the field of Mormon Studies. Daniel C.
Peterson and others who were once associated with what people are referring to
as “classic FARMS”, have come together to create the independent journal Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture.
This is a very exciting development, and they have already published three
articles and a book review. Additional evidence of how quickly this has taken
off is the fact that they already have their first sponsored conference inSeptember. If you explore the website enough, you will find that I have managed
to get myself involved with this new venture, which may also lead to less
activity here on this blog.
BYU Football
My passion for BYU football rarely gets mentioned on this
blog. Each year, the football season becomes a time commitment for me, though,
and this year it will be even more so. You see, my oldest brother has a greatBYU Football blog that has grown nicely over the years, and this year I
promised him I would help out with some of the coverage. So, again, this may
slow my production pace.
As usual, I just want to thank everyone for reading and
ensure whatever readers that may actually exist that plan to continue doing the
best that I can to provide valuable and insightful thoughts on LDS scholarship
and apologetics.
