Correcting a bit of imprecision

New, on the website of the Interpreter Foundation:

“Book Notice: Becoming the Beloved Disciple“

In case you missed these pieces:

On re-reading it, I see that I wasn’t precise enough in the first item in the list that I recently sent out to donors and volunteers and then posted here on my blog.  This is how that item, a short paragraph, reads:

“By the end of 2018, Interpreter’s journal will have published fifty-seven (57) articles during the calendar year, totaling 1044 pages, in three complete volumes, by forty-six unique authors. From the time 337.5 weeks before, when the Foundation was established in August 2012, it will have published at least one article each Friday—and sometimes two or even, occasionally, three—for 336 consecutive weeks, without interruption. Allen Wyatt has supervised this amazing productivity, and deserves our gratitude for his very effective hard work.”

I should have given credit to Jeffrey Mark Bradshaw for serving as our “production editor” for a substantial portion of the existence of Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture.  When he and his wife were leaving for their assignment to the Democratic Republic of the Congo Kinshasa Mission, I was deeply concerned.  Plainly, given his obligations to his ecclesiastical calling, Jeff would be unable to continue to supervise the weekly publication of our journal.  But it’s a very demanding task, and he seemed essentially irreplaceable.  Who could possibly take over for him?  Who would willingly assume the considerable burden of regular, weekly production?  Happily, Allen Wyatt was able and willing to step into that role.  We didn’t miss so much as a single beat.  Which is, to me, nothing short of astounding.

Thus, anyway, Allen is to be praised for his management of the fifty-seven (57) articles that will have appeared during the calendar year 2018, totaling 1044 pages, in three complete volumes, by forty-six unique authors — and for those that have appeared for quite some time before.  But a substantial portion of the credit up until sometime in early 2016 should also go to Jeff Bradshaw for Interpreter’s overall record of publishing at least one article each Friday — and sometimes two or even, occasionally, three — for 336 consecutive, uninterrupted weeks.

My gratitude to Jeff and Allen knows no bounds.

Here’s a nice piece from the Pacific Area newsroom of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:
