Very interesting! Just in the past week or so, Dr. Peterson was ragging on Jonathan Neville (allegedly), saying something along the lines of, "I understand that one of you Heartlanders makes a full-time living doing what you do!" And yet here are *both* Smoot and Rappleye, working full-time for BoMC...

the offer was nullified given the present thread, but it doesn't matter since the owner never responded. I think people should consider the following: 'let's not specify the new owner(s) for the moment, but consider the possibility of moving to a new forum without the present database and starting ...

Very interesting. It would seem that both FAIR Mormon and Amazon have restocked Gee's book, and yet, neither Deseret Book nor the BYU Religious Studies Center has done the same.

There was a decidedly low-key announcement about two new items posted to the "Interpreter" blog on Friday. Do you think Allen Wyatt was mentioned? No? That's right--you are correct. There was no mention at all of Allen Wyatt.
