Moksha, your post transports me back to the Interpreter Foundation’s highly entertaining fifth birthday party. Anticipating the delightful festivities more than three years ago now, I wrote : Celebrants will have a rare opportunity to watch the classic satirical Super-8 home movie Oedipus Wrecked (s...

I wonder if our colleagues know the rich history behind Dr. Peterson's use of that quotation? Of course, it was the epigraph for Dr. P.'s notorious article--an attack piece that followed in the wake of legal threats from Signature Books--called "Questions to Legal Answers." (And yes: he misspells t...

Doctor, to be perfectly frank, I credit my preternatural intellectual capacity as a child and teenager—for example, I devoured, and was heavily influenced by, both Kant’s Critique of Practical Reason and, of course, Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus while in middle school—for keeping me ...

I must point out that Dr. Peterson has edited his post to correct the spelling of Lardner’s book, which, if I recall correctly—and I suspect I do—I read in first grade, shortly before I read Hans-Georg Gadamer’s Truth and Method. I was a well-read child.

Dr. Peterson: “[Dr. Gee’s] book has been effectively silenced and suppressed — at least temporarily.” It has? Strange that one can buy a copy of an effectively silenced and suppressed book through FairMormon and other outlets. The book will be effectively silenced and suppressed when the First Presi...

I must confess that I am concerned that the Street Fighter of Mopologetics is not getting substantive feedback at the film’s various showings. Has anyone commented on Joseph using the sacred plates as a weapon against the ruffian? Has anyone criticized the inaccuracies in the translation scene or th...

Rest in peace, Grindael. I happened to catch a recent broadcast of the Interpreter radio program. Here are the most significant moments: A guest notes that she and Dr. Peterson once crash-landed together in a hot air balloon in Turkey. Host Martin Tanner remarks, "Remind me not to climb into a hot a...

Thank you, IHAQ. I wonder when Dr. Midgley’s review of Dr. Gee’s book will be posted on the Interpreter website. Dr. Midgley has opined that Saving Faith is “truly remarkable,” “stunning,” and “terrific” and that Dr. Riess’ book is “terrible.”

Dr. Midgley opining on the priesthood and temple ban: As is now known there were Blacks who joined the Church of Jesus Christ early on. In New Zealand, beginning on Christmas Day in 1882, Maori began to join the Church because they had their own matakite (seers) who prepared them for our missionarie...

I don’t mean to say that 3-5,000 copies have been sold. Rather, I believe that Amazon and FairMormon sold their initial stock (whatever it was) to DezNatters and Dr. Gee’s friends (plus some critics of the book). I would assume that RSC won’t provide additional copies to Amazon and other book seller...
