Congratulations on teaching this course. The UofU will be enriched by it.




by the way, if some grumpy old guy surround by two "councilors" shows up to heckle you, ask to see his BYU staff ID card.

If on the other hand, some grumpy old guy looking oddly like a penguin sits in the back of the lecture hall, turn the microphone way up so he can hear you.

Thank you, friend. After all these years, I do hope you'll stop by one evening and say, hello!

David,

I live too far to physically attend. I don't suppose there is any way to take this course via the internet is there?

Thanks

I'm afraid not. This is really the start of Mormon Studies at the U of U, so not sure what the future holds.

Thanks David,

Hopefully in the future that will change.

I think it would be interesting to do a comparative literature study of the KJV and the Book of Mormon and the Hebrew Old Testament and the Koran.
