A Long-Awaited Visit: President Heber J. Grant In Switzerland And Germany, 1937, Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, Marc Alain Bohn
A Long-Awaited Visit: President Heber J. Grant In Switzerland And Germany, 1937, Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, Marc Alain Bohn
BYU Studies Quarterly
In 1937, just two years before Hitler invaded Poland, President Heber J. Grant made a memorable journey from Salt Lake City to Europe (fig. 1). President Grant had served as president of the European and British Missions from 1903 to 1906 and was now returning to Europe as prophet of the Church. He was the second Church president to visit Europe while serving in that capacity. His predecessor, Joseph F. Smith, visited Europe in 1906 and again in 1910.

Brigham Young's Word Of Wisdom Legacy, Paul H. Peterson, Ronald W. Walker
Brigham Young's Word Of Wisdom Legacy, Paul H. Peterson, Ronald W. Walker
BYU Studies Quarterly
During the thirty-three years that Brigham Young led The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1844-77, he set the Church on a course of following the Word of Wisdom to the letter. While most Church members failed to obey the revelation's proscriptions during Brigham's lifetime, he set the goal that members would eventually comply with the Word of Wisdom. During his tenure, he changed the standard from moderate use of tobacco, alcohol, tea, and coffee to full abstinence.

"How, Kemosabe": Rowland Rider's Symbol For All Seasons, Deirdre M. Paulsen
BYU Studies Quarterly
"How, Kemosabe," Rowland Rider would say, raising his right arm. Unlike a schoolboy raising his hand to ask a question, Rowland would lift his arm up from the elbow. This gesture was Rowland's trademark of sorts, a declaration to the world of his knowledge of Indian ways. (Rowland said "Indian." The politically correct term Native American had not yet been advanced.) After all, Rowland, my grandfather, was the only white man in Kanab, Utah, who could skin a deer the way the Navajos liked it done. I can't remember if it was with or without the ears. But it mattered …

A Latter-Day Saint In Hitler's Ss: The True Story Of A Mormon Youth Who Joined And Defected From The Infamous Schutzstaffel, Alan F. Keele
BYU Studies Quarterly
In researching and writing the story of Helmuth Hübener, the Latter-day Saint youth who was executed for distributing anti-Nazi literature in Germany during World War II, I learned of several other Hübener-like people in Nazi Germany. One such person, whom I shall call Bruno to preserve anonymity, was a young Latter-day Saint man who joined Hitler's infamous elite force, the SS, and then had a change of heart. I had the privilege, a number of years ago now, to interview this gentleman at his home in Germany.

BYU Studies Quarterly
Print, electronic, and other forms of communications media have been consistently perceived and characterized by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as tools to assist in spreading and gospel message throughout the world. President Spencer W. Kimball said, "Technology will help spread the gospel.... We shall use the inventions the Lord has given us to awaken interest and acquaint people of the world with [gospel] truths." More recently, President Gordon B. Hinckley said, "The Lord has inspired skilled men and women in developing new technologies which we can use to our great advantage in …

The Process Of Inspired Translation: Two Passages Translated Twice In The Joseph Smith Translation Of The Bible, Kent P. Jackson, Peter M. Jasinski
The Process Of Inspired Translation: Two Passages Translated Twice In The Joseph Smith Translation Of The Bible, Kent P. Jackson, Peter M. Jasinski
BYU Studies Quarterly
Since 1996, researchers from Brigham Young University—with the assistance of new photographs, scanned images, and much hands-on examination of the documents—have been engaged in a careful study of the text written on the original manuscripts of the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible. The work has yielded the publication of a large facsimile transcription of all the original manuscript pages and much new information about how Joseph Smith prepared the text. Among the many new discoveries resulting from this research is an enhanced understanding of the sequence and chronology of the Prophet's work.
The Character Of Joseph Smith, Richard Lyman Bushman
The Character Of Joseph Smith, Richard Lyman Bushman
BYU Studies Quarterly
The title of this essay, "The Character of Joseph Smith," may promise more than can ever be fulfilled. Joseph warned the Saints of the difficulty in trying to understand him. In the King Follett discourse given two months before his death, he told them, "You dont know me—you never will." Another version of the same speech says, "You never knew my heart. No man knows my hist[ory]." He seems to say that what we want to know most—his heart and his history—are not to be found out. No matter how much we study him, we must be cautious about believing …

Why Bad Things Happen At All: A Search For Clarity Among The Problems Of Evil, John Sutton Welch
Why Bad Things Happen At All: A Search For Clarity Among The Problems Of Evil, John Sutton Welch
BYU Studies Quarterly
In college I lost my faith—not completely and not for long. But that moment impacted my beliefs deeply. I was standing in the back of the theater watching a scene unfold, waiting for my cue to enter. On the stage, my character's parents, farmers during a war depicted in Bertold Brecht's Mother Courage, realize that the army impressing my character into service is about to descend on their farm and then on the nearby village. Alone and defenseless, they beg God to save them. As I watched this pathetic pair plead for rescue, a though occurred to me that …

In addition to gospel principles, concepts from secular research can help us move closer to ideal relationships. Drawing on current research from the social sciences that is in harmony with gospel principles, this article, which is taken from a chapter of a new publication entitled Eternal Values and Personal Growth: A Guide on your Journey to Social, Emotional, and Spiritual Wellness, explores ways people can become more Christlike in marriage, in friendships, and across generations.
Salt Lake Tabernacle Interior Photograph: Sabbath School Union Jubilee, July 1875, Ronald W. Walker, Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, James S. Lambert
Salt Lake Tabernacle Interior Photograph: Sabbath School Union Jubilee, July 1875, Ronald W. Walker, Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, James S. Lambert
BYU Studies Quarterly
Most early photographs of the Salt Lake Tabernacle depict a huge, architecturally curious building with relatively few adornments on its exterior or interior. Its oddity sparked the delight of many and the chagrin of many more, causing some travelers and observers to remark that it resembled a large turtle that had lost its way in the desert. However, any disagreement about the exterior of the tabernacle would be mediated by the view of the interior—Mormons and non-Mormons, residents and tourists alike agreed that in its first years the inside seemed gloomy and bare. One visitor described entering the Tabernacle as …
Pentecost Continued: A Contemporaneous Account Of The Kirtland Temple Dedication, Steven C. Harper
Pentecost Continued: A Contemporaneous Account Of The Kirtland Temple Dedication, Steven C. Harper
BYU Studies Quarterly
The significance of what transpired at the dedication of the Kirtland Temple on March 27, 1836, is well established among Latter-day Saints. The historical record affirming an outpouring of divine manifestations is rich. Even so, precious few contemporaneous reports by observers are available. Recently, however, the richness of the historical record increased with the discovery of an eyewitness account of the miraculous Kirtland Pentecost penned by Benjamin Brown.
