As TI look back at the table of contents of the first issue, published in 1959, I am struck that the same multidisciplinary variety still flourishes today in BYU Studies as it did then. Articles, essays, and book reviews in that issue covered topics of contemporary interest that are still of interest today. In that inaugural issue, subjects included an LDS philosophical engagement with existentialism, a Mormon embrace of the human val- ues found in modern art, an economic historical analysis of the Word of Wisdom, and a literary reading of Hawthorne’s wrestle with the com- plexities of human interactions and of moral transgressions. Found in that first volume were department chairs as well as rising young assis- tant professors whose names were larger-than-life presences in LDS academic circles and on the BYU campus when I arrived as a freshman in the fall of 1964. They included such notables as Truman Madsen, Conan Matthews, Marden Clark, Leonard Arrington, and Kent Fielding. In marking any anniversary, it is good to glance back into the past, in order to regroup and reestablish our bearings. In this present issue, as Patrick Moran’s personal essay sensitively states, memory “is the very glue that keeps me bound to what I have been, what I am, and what I will become.” Fifteen years ago, on the fortieth anniversary of BYU Studies, I reflected on the precepts that have come to epitomize the academic code of profes- sional conduct found today in our Author Guidelines.1 Its six main ideals still today are: 4 BYU Studies Quarterly 53, no. 2 (214) https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/byusq/vol53/iss2/1 4 Studies: Full Issue From the Editor V 5 1. Unity: The goal of unity with God and our fellow beings must be continually cultivated and nourished. The goal of unity does not imply that all scholarly methods or personal views must be the same, but “if ye are not one ye are not mine” (D&C 38:27). 2. Harmony: BYU Studies Quarterly seeks to harmonize and transcend, in a spiritual, intellectual, and practical unity, elements of this mortal existence that appear to most people to be incompatible contradictions. 3. Honesty: Accuracy and reliability are of the essence in scholarship. 4. Thoroughness: It is expedient to understand “all things that per- tain unto the kingdom of God,” at home and abroad, in heaven and in earth, “things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass” (D&C 88:78–79). 5. Humility: No person says or understands everything perfectly, and a variety of opinions on a shared scale of progression are expected. Scholarship is not an end in itself. Research cannot create faith; it can only set the stage for greater light and knowledge. 6. Charity: In order for communication to occur, there must be char- ity, for no statement exists (including this one) that cannot be miscon- strued. If fellowship and goodwill do not exist, especially in an academic setting, we will not communicate with one another. If you as a reader resonate positively to these professional values, BYU Studies hopes to always be your trusted friend. Recently, Steve Piersanti, a highly positioned West Coast book publisher, dropped me a note to say, “The guidelines for authors from BYU Studies are wonderful and amazing. I’ve never seen anything like them before.” As I have looked over the page proofs for this issue one last time, I have seen these values pervading the pages of this journal. I feel a sense of unity in the various faithful voices of men and women who cherish relationships and communion with the household of faith. I find cohesion as these authors harmonize dichotomies and conun- drums, as they evenhandedly conjoin evangelical grace and Latter-day Saint works (Robert Millet), wisely blend the world of business and the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ (Douglas Anderson), and take seri- ously both folklore and inspiration (Eric Eliason). I am amazed at the painstaking efforts that have been taken to ensure the greatest possible accuracy in our transcriptions of early Church discourses (LaJean Carruth) and Church newspapers from the 1840s (Susan Easton Black). Expansive interests draw together Mormons and Buddhists (Reid Neilson), bring together the factoids of numerology with the sacred Published by BYU ScholarsArchive, 2014 5 BYU Studies Quarterly, Vol. 53, Iss. 2 [2014], Art. 1 6 v BYU Studies Quarterly messages of scripture (Corbin Volluz), and draw to attention a dozen early Armenian reflections on the life of Abraham (Douglas Clark). Thoroughness is exemplified by the scripture database noticed here, which pinpoints hundreds of thousands of scripture references found in over seven thousand books and speeches and articles. Humility is found not only in recognitions by these authors of their own inadequacies and vast amounts of work yet to be accomplished, but also in submitting to personal disappointments and still being able to say, “Be it unto me, according to thy word,” as in the award-winning personal essay by Rebecca Clarke. And charity can be found rolling alongside the “villages on wheels” whose stories have been rescued from obscurity by the late Stan Kim- ball’s astonishing collection of thousands of firsthand records never before compiled, telling details of suffering, love, humor, tragedy and joy on the trails of the Saints gathering to Zion, the quintessential Mor- mon experience. Moving forward in this fifty-five-year tradition of distinctive schol- arly LDS publishing, all of us at BYU Studies are very happy to bring you this latest issue. We hope it enriches the goodness of your life. John W. Welch 1. The points listed here are extracted from John W. Welch, “Moving On,” BYU Studies 38, no.

    Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. A House Full of Females: Plural Marriage and Women’s Rights in Early Mormonism, 1835–1870. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2017. Reviewed by Lowell C. “Ben” Bennion aurel Thatcher Ulrich, a distinguished history professor emerita Lfrom Harvard University, has recently released a long-awaited and widely acclaimed work on women and plural marriage in early Mor- monism, titled A House Full of Females. She has previously published four books related to Colonial and Revolutionary America, one of which, A Midwife’s Tale, won both a Bancroft and a Pulitzer Prize the year after its publication in 1990. She describes A House Full of Females, which she began a decade ago, as “my first attempt to approach early Mormonism as a work of scholarship” (389). Given her relatively late entry into Mormon Studies, readers of BYU Studies Quarterly may not be familiar with Ulrich’s work, unless they have already read the three very favorable reviews of her new book published in BYU’s 2018 issue of Mormon Studies Review and her response to them.1 Mine is another favorable review, which aims to highlight aspects of the book that BYU Studies readers will find most interesting and adds to the growing praise Ulrich is receiving for this masterful work. Ulrich begins and ends her latest book with “An Indignation Meet- ing” held in the Old Tabernacle of Salt Lake City on January 13, 1870. Despite wintry weather, at least five thousand ladies gathered there to protest the Cullom Bill, which had been passed in the U.S.

    WAGON ROAD 1849—1869 At twilight, or in a gloomy daylight, all the canons feel like coffins. Emigration Canon … Cliffs are relieved by no beauty of form or colour, they are stern, grim, unpitying; the snow higher up looks warmer; you may fancy Giant Despair looking over their edge at his prisoners. — William Chandless, A Visit to Salt Lake City Being a Journey Across the Plains and Residence in the Mormon Settlements in Utah Overland Freight and Mail The influx of emigrants to Great Salt Lake City kept the Emigration Canyon wagon road open and used, but maintenance was primitive. Roads in those days were dirt and mud tracks—often mere ruts—that were marginally suitable for wagon travel. And the wagons didn’t bring just emigrants. Contributing significantly to road use, both in terms of degradation and upkeep, were the teamsters who rumbled constantly back and forth carrying freight and mail. As early as 1849, the Great Salt Lake Carrying Company was handling freight between the Mis- souri River and California, charging passengers $300 to ride along. Also in that year, the first post office was established in Great Salt Lake City. But the post office was merely a central depository of all mail arriving in town. Delivery was voluntary, as mail was brought by travelers from Independ- ence, Missouri, when convenient or carried by boat to San Francisco and then overland to Salt Lake City.1 The Mormons soon organized their own private mail service between the valley and the Saints in Kanesville (now Council Bluffs, Iowa), with Almon W.

  • Joseph Knight's Recollection of Early Mormon History
    Joseph Knight’s Recollection of Early Mormon History Dean Jessee n 22 August 1842, while reflecting upon the “faithful few” who had Ostood by him “in every hour of peril,” Joseph Smith recorded the following sentiments about Joseph Knight: [He] was among the number of the first to administer to my necessi- ties, while I was laboring in the commencement of the bringing forth of the work of the Lord, and of laying the foundation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For fifteen years he has been faith- ful and true, and even-handed and exemplary, and virtuous and kind, never deviating to the right hand or to the left. Behold he is a righteous man, may God Almighty lengthen out the old man’s days; and may his trembling, tortured, and broken body be renewed, and in the vigor of health turn upon him if it be Thy will, consistently, O God; and it shall be said of him, by the sons of Zion, while there is one of them remain- ing, that this was a faithful man in Israel; therefore his name shall never be forgotten.1 Joseph Knight, Sr., was born 3 November 1772 at Oakham, Worces- ter, Massachusetts. In 1809 he moved to Bainbridge, Chenango County, New York and two years later to Colesville, Broome County, New York where he remained for nineteen years. He owned a farm, a gristmill and carding machine, and according to his son, Newel, “was not rich, yet possessed enough of this world’s goods to secure to himself and family the necessaries and comforts of life.” His family consisted of three sons and four daughters.2 While Joseph Smith was living in Harmony, Pennsylvania he was occasionally employed by Joseph Knight.

    Event or Process? How “the Chamber of Old Father Whitmer” Helps Us Understand Priesthood Restoration Michael Hubbard MacKay ecent studies describing the restoration of the priesthood have Rnoted and demonstrated that we have been anachronistically shap- ing our 1829 restoration narrative around twentieth-century notions that the Melchizedek Priesthood represents a separate “authority” or “power” that is distinctly independent from the body of ordained men (it has become something we hold rather than something we join). Jona- than Stapley argues that by the early twentieth century General Authori- ties explicitly defined priesthood as “the exclusive authority and power of God,” whereas before then it was used more ecclesiastically.1 Though Joseph Smith was certainly a restorationist, like many antebellum Ameri- cans, scholars have tended to frame his restorationism in terms of how the power or authority of God was restored (emphasizing priesthood as something you hold). For example, we focus on how John the Baptist restored an independent entity called the Aaronic Priesthood and how Peter, James, and John restored the higher companion priesthood called 1. Stapley describes the priesthood within three categories developing across time. First is ecclesiastical, which describes priesthood as a body of leaders called the priest- hood who would “channel the power of God.” Second, he associates the temple theolo- gies developed in Nauvoo with the priesthood that “constituted the very structure of the cosmos.” Finally, at the turn of the twentieth century, “instead of viewing priesthood as channeling the power of God, church leaders began to describe the priesthood as the power of God.” Jonathan Stapley, The Power of Godliness: Mormon Liturgy and Cosmol- ogy (New York: Oxford University Press, 2018), 11, 12.

  • The Teachings of Church Leaders Regarding the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ: 1852–2018
    The Teachings of Church Leaders Regarding the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ: 1852–2018 John Hilton III, Emily K. Hyde, and McKenna Grace Trussel rom the beginnings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day FSaints (herein referred to as “the Church”), the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ has been at the heart of its theology. In numerous revelations received by Joseph Smith, the Savior is identified as having been “cru- cified for the sins of the world” (D&C 53:2; see also 21:9, 35:2, 46:13, 54:1, 76:41). President Brigham Young taught that salvation was only “through the name and ministry of Jesus Christ, and the atonement he made on Mount Calvary.”1 President John Taylor said that Christ “was crucified and put to death to atone for the sins of the world.”2 President Wilford Woodruff stated, “The Lord Jesus was crucified on Mount Cal- vary for the sins of the world.”3 And President Lorenzo Snow taught that Christ “sacrificed his life on Mount Calvary for the salvation of the human family.”4 In 1918, President Joseph F. Smith wrote “that redemp- tion had been wrought through the sacrifice of the Son of God upon the cross” (D&C 138:35), and in 1941, President Heber J. Grant testified that Christ “came to this earth with a divine mission to die upon the cross as the Redeemer of mankind, atoning for the sins of the world.”5 In brief, 1.

  • Mortally Sinful Media!
    Spiritual information you must know to be saved Mortally sinful media! “Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times. Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked, without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness, Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God: Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Most people of this generation, even those who profess themselves Christian, are so fallen away in morals that even the debauched people who lived a hundred years ago would be ashamed of the many things people today enjoy. And this is exactly what the devil had planned from the start, to step by step lowering the standard of morality in the world through the media until, in fact, one cannot escape to sin mortally by watching it with the intention of enjoying oneself. Yes to watch ungodly media only for enjoyment or pleasure or for to waste time (which could be used for God), as most people do, is mortally sinful. 54 years ago (1956), Elvis Presley had to be filmed above the waist up on a tv-show because of a hip-swiveling movement. Not that it was an acceptable performance, everything tending to sexuality is an abomination, but still it serves to prove how much the decline has come since then, when even the secular press deemed inappropriate what today would be looked upon as nothing. But even at that time, in major Hollywood films like The Ten Commandments, could be seen both women and men that are incredibly immodestly dressed.
