“Historicity and the Latter-day Saints”

My friend Keith Lane, who teaches at the Laie, Hawaii, campus of Brigham Young University, has reminded me of a review essay that he published in the FARMS Review more than a decade ago, but which is highly relevant to certain recent discussions of scripture and its relationship with history.

I recommend it:

Of course — be warned! — you need to be prepared for the mean-spirited and narrow-minded viciousness that characterized the FARMS Review back when I edited it — i.e., prior to the Reformation of 2012.
