Mormon Studies at the University of Utah

I had the opportunity Fall semester 2013 to teach a Book of Mormon as Literature course at the University of Utah.  It was a wonderful experience.  The class will filled with a diversity of students, some with little to no exposure whatsoever to this important contribution to American religious history.  The course was sponsored by the Tanner Humanities Center under the direction of Bob Goldberg.  Here is a link to the KSL news report announcing that students at the U will most likely soon be able to earn a 15-unit minor in the field of Mormon Studies under the umbrella of Religious Studies.  This is an exciting time for the University of Utah.
