Ross Peterson The establishment of a lecture series honoring a library’s special collec- tions and a donor to that collection is unique. Utah State University’s Merrill-Cazier Library houses the personal and historical collection of Leonard J. Arrington, a renowned scholar of the American West. As part of Arrington’s gift to the university, he requested that the university’s his- torical collection become the focus for an annual lecture on an aspect of Mormon history. Utah State agreed to the request and in 1995 inaugu- rated the annual Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture. Utah State University’s Special Collections and Archives is ideally suited as the host for the lecture series. The state’s land grant univer- sity began collecting records very early, and in the 1960s became a major depository for Utah and Mormon records. Leonard and his wife Grace joined the USU faculty and family in 1946, and the Arringtons and their colleagues worked to collect original diaries, journals, let- ters, and photographs.

  • Mormon Literature: Progress and Prospects by Eugene England
    Mormon Literature: Progress and Prospects By Eugene England This essay is the culmination of several attempts England made throughout his life to assess the state of Mormon literature and letters. The version below, a slightly revised and updated version of the one that appeared in David J. Whittaker, ed., Mormon Americana: A Guide to Sources and Collections in the United States (Provo, Utah: BYU Studies, 1995), 455–505, is the one that appeared in the tribute issue Irreantum published following England’s death. Originally published in: Irreantum 3, no. 3 (Autumn 2001): 67–93. This, the single most comprehensive essay on the history and theory of Mormon literature, first appeared in 1982 and has been republished and expanded several times in keeping up with developments in Mormon letters and Eugene England’s own thinking. Anyone seriously interested in LDS literature could not do better than to use this visionary and bibliographic essay as their curriculum. 1 ExpEctations MorMonisM hAs bEEn called a “new religious tradition,” in some respects as different from traditional Christianity as the religion of Jesus was from traditional Judaism. 2 its beginnings in appearances by God, Jesus Christ, and ancient prophets to Joseph smith and in the recovery of lost scriptures and the revelation of new ones; its dramatic history of persecution, a literal exodus to a promised land, and the build - ing of an impressive “empire” in the Great basin desert—all this has combined to make Mormons in some ways an ethnic people as well as a religious community. Mormon faith is grounded in literal theophanies, concrete historical experience, and tangible artifacts (including the book of Mormon, the irrigated fields of the Wasatch Front, and the great stone pioneer temples of Utah) in certain ways that make Mormons more like ancient Jews and early Christians and Muslims than, say, baptists or Lutherans.

  • January 11, 2017 Mr. Brian L. Roberts President and CEO Comcast
    January 11, 2017 Mr. Brian L. Roberts President and CEO Comcast NBCUniversal Comcast Center 1701 JFK Boulevard Philadelphia, PA 19103 Dear Mr. Roberts: A few hours ago I receive a very disheartening telephone call. We had purchased 54 time slots with Comcast in four Utah markets to air our new 30: second commercial “Help Us.” Yesterday, on Tuesday, January 10, 2017 I held a press conference in Salt Lake City to preview the new commercial for the media. At the press conference I announced that the commercial they were seeing would begin airing the very next day, for a week. That did not happen, because late today we were told that Comcast has suddenly refused to run the ad, which had been vetted and approved by your company a week earlier. Having produced political television ads for over 40 years, I am very familiar with time buys and the approval process. So last Tuesday, January, 2017 when your legal department requested a copy of the commercial for approval, we were ready. Our media buying service in Los Angeles, NCC Media asked for a copy of the spot to send to Comcast. We sent it to them and they sent it to Comcast the same day. Two days later, on Thursday, January 5, 2017 we were told that our commercial was approved to go on the air by your legal department, but the spot had been flagged due to an incorrect audio sample rate. The sample rate needed to be changed to 48k, a minor fix which our director did. On Friday, January 6, 2017 the audio corrected spot was sent back to Comcast and we were assured that our commercial was approved and ready to begin airing on Wednesday, January 11, 2017.

  • Terryl Givens and the Shape of Mormon Studies
    REVIEWS Terryl Givens and the Shape of Mormon Studies Teryl L. Givens. The Book of Mormon: A Very Short Introduction. New York: Oxford University Press, 2009. 140 pp. Appendix (“Manu- scripts, editions, and timelines”), Book of Mormon Timeline, refer- ences, further readings, index. Paper: $11.95. ISBN 978–0–19– 536931–1 Reviewed by Marc Alain Bohn and James C. Olsen In response to a review by Jan Shipps of Richard Lyman Bush- man’s Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling, Bushman remarked: “As more and more historians work to situate Mormonism in Ameri- can history, Mormons like me want to join the discussion. We will write better if we are less defensive, more open to criticism, more exploratory and venturous, but even with our inhibitions and parochialisms, we should come to the table with our Mormonism intact.”1 Bushman here and throughout his career outlines an ap- proach to Mormon studies that largely defines the attitude of at least two generations of Church members who take intellectual engagement with Mormonism—and not just Mormon history—se- riously. However, the most successful scholar to embrace this ap- proach is perhaps not Bushman himself, but Terryl L. Givens, a professor of literature and religion, who currently holds the James A. Bostwick Chair of English at the University of Rich- mond. While Givens’s writings currently help to define the space of Mormon studies, his appeal transcends academia, extending to everyday Latter-day Saints. If Bushman is a sort of Mormon stud- ies Moses, with potent insights into how Mormonism can profit- ably and honestly ref lect on itself in a greater context of religious and American studies, Givens is something of an Aaron, a dy- namic and highly articulate spokesperson bringing this insight to the masses—both the academically initiated and uninitiated.
