We who are associated with the Interpreter Foundation and its weekly publication, Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture, are pleased to be able to share with a Latter-day Saint audience an important article by Noel Reynolds that first appeared in the Scottish Journal of Theology 68:2 (2015), 218-34:

The 10 June 2018 episode of the Interpreter Radio Show is now available for your listening convenience on the Interpreter Foundation’s principal website. This program’s discussants included Allen Wyatt, John Gee, Hales Swift, and Jared Ludlow, and the conversation centered on the release of Dr. Ludlow’s new introductory book, Exploring the Apocrypha from a Latter-day Saint Perspective. Participants in the program explored concepts and ideas related to the Apocrypha and how the Apocrypha relate both to the Church and to personal scripture study. In addition, the discussion also examined the challenges provided in the June 3 youth “fireside” by President Russell M. Nelson.

This is a part of Mormon history that all Latter-day Saints should know:
“Mormon Martyrs in Mexico: Why Two Branch Presidency Members Were Executed in 1915”

But the Work goes on. Here’s a heartening story:
