Re: Fair Mormon 2020, full of gems

FairMormon has posted the audio from Dr. Gee’s extremely tedious conference address on social science research regarding “the best practices in defending the church.” I believe he should have read through his paper a few more times before his formal presentation. It’s rough. https://www.fairmormon.o...

Re: Millstones Along the Way: Interpreter Foundation Turns 8

LOL. If I make a few bucks in a future game, I may send them to A. Wyatt, who, I understand, is working a second job keeping Interpreter 's weekly posting streak alive and receiving little to no thanks or recognition from his colleagues for his editorial labors (e.g., does his name appear anywhere i...

With the pandemic in full force, the Foundation's many officers, volunteers, and friends were unable to gather in Utah this year to celebrate. However, I did join a Zoom party with a number of faithf...

Re: Has DCP Pissed Off His Home Dept. at BYU?

I see that Dr. Peterson has announced his retirement on July 1, 2021. I wish him well, and I certainly hope Cassius will host a nice reception in his honor next summer.

Re: Kerry Muhlestein responds

In reading some exchanges elsewhere regarding Dr. Muhlestein’s essay, I’ve learned that a budding Mormon apologist is working on a Bayesian probability analysis of the Book of Abraham evidence. I assume that the Dales will serve as peer reviewers once the manuscript is submitted to Interpreter.

Re: John Gee claims in his new book intro that there's no need for his new book

Kwaku El is claiming there is a campaign to get Dr. Gee's book pulled from Deseret Book and the BYU Religious Studies Center. Today he tweeted the following : 1. PLS RETWEET. Hey everyone, please send a nice email or call to @DeseretBook Calvin misrepresented Prof John Gee & they’re being pressured ...
