It is possible that any misspelling was made deliberately; in the spirit of fun since Dr. Midgley is forever goofing on other people's names. Besides, it was corrected the minute this board pointed it out, so there.Moksha wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 11:34 pmIn that case, it was Midgley's fault for temporarily altering his name and changing it back without informing Dr. Peterson. That seems like the most coherent apologetic explanation unless you are in for a totally wacky explanation of a horde of non-Danite anti-Mormons sneaking in at night and altering the spelling. However, the latter explanation would go over at SeN without a question.
I also noticed this curious misspelling: "The Suppression of the Joseph Smith Papryri [sic]."Lem wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 8:14 pmAnother misspelling? Lol. Obviously the worldwide web's fault.Tom wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 8:05 pmI must confess that I've likely read six of the festschrift pieces, although I suppose some of the essays may have been revised or updated. They include:
"Thomas Hobbes’s 'A Discourse of Laws,'" Noel B. Reynolds
"The Book of Mormon as a Resurrected Book and a Type of Christ," George L. Mitton
"Memory and Identity in the Book of Mormon," Steven L. Olsen
"A Familiar Eternity," Ralph C. Hancock
"An Essay on the One True Morality and the Principle of Freedom," Alma (misspelled as "Alan" on the Eborn Books page] Don Sorensen
"Separated but Not Divorced: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Its Uncomfortable Relationship with Its Polygamous Past," Craig L. Foster
I do look forward to the family photographs and the bibliography, although I must admit that it's disappointing that the bibliography is selected rather than comprehensive.
Tom! So glad to hear from you. Any chance you might be attending the lds film festival? Your reviews are always spot on and so informative.

Oh this is really funny. A friend who has a peek at the Swamp every now and then mentioned to me that there was some babble there.
