“The Faith to See: Burning in the Bosom and Translating the Book of Mormon in Doctrine and Covenants 9”

Interpreter didn’t miss a day yesterday.  That will almost certainly happen, eventually, but it hasn’t happened yet and it’s not likely to happen for at least a while to come.

It’s just that I spent much of yesterday on airplanes, and much of the rest of it in cars, and . . . well, I fell behind.

(Some of my critics will be disappointed, by the way, to know that, while I teach a full load of classes, owing to the peculiarities of my teaching schedule and of BYU’s academic calendar I don’t intend to miss a single teaching day for this bit of goofing off — and that I’m not completely goofing off, anyway.  While sitting out watching whales and gazing at the islands of Lanai and Molokai this morning, for example, I’ve been re-reading Farid al-Din Attar’s Conference of the Birds, and breaking that up with an account of the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet and — rather curiously, while sitting on a tropical beach — of hunting for meteorites in Antarctica.)

Anyway, I’m happy to call your attention to Stan Spencer’s new article, published yesterday:
