More Than An Index: The First Reference Guide To The Doctrine And Covenants As A Window Into Early Mormonism, Grant Underwood
More Than An Index: The First Reference Guide To The Doctrine And Covenants As A Window Into Early Mormonism, Grant Underwood
BYU Studies Quarterly
When the Doctrine and Covenants came off the press in Kirtland, Ohio, in September 1835, readers found two reference tools in the back of the book. The first, a three-page section titled "Index," is really more of a table of contents. It lists sequentially the seven lectures "of faith" and the 102 sections of "Part Second" found in that original edition, citing the page number where each begins. Then follows "Contents," also somewhat mislabeled. As seen in the appendix below, "Contents" looks like an index in that it is organized alphabetically. However, entries within each letter grouping are not alphabetized; …

Artworks In The Celestial Room Of The First Nauvoo Temple, Jill C. Major
Artworks In The Celestial Room Of The First Nauvoo Temple, Jill C. Major
BYU Studies Quarterly
Because of the scant time the first Nauvoo temple was open for sacred ordinances, portraits of prominent Nauvoo citizens were borrowed to adorn the temple walls. Brigham Young and the temple portrait for display in the temple. The presence of these images demonstrates how carefully Brigham Young and the temple committee arranged every detail of the temple experience to make it meaningful and purposeful, even while they planned to abandon the City of Joseph. Knowing about the portraits also adds to our knowledge of the importance of art in the Nauvoo culture. What follows is an identification of the portraits …

Probabilistic Record Linkage For Genealogical Research, John Lawson, David White, Brenda Price, Ryan Yamagata
Probabilistic Record Linkage For Genealogical Research, John Lawson, David White, Brenda Price, Ryan Yamagata
BYU Studies Quarterly
With increased interest in family history research, there is a great need for improvement in procedures for generating genealogical information. One of the most time-consuming parts of the work is searching through records (such as civil records, church records, census records, immigration records, wills, deeds, and certificates, of births, marriages, and deaths) for information about an individual. When multiple records are searched, an individual may appear numerous times. Each of these occurrences may contain identical or unique information about the individual. More complete information (such as pedigree) can be constructed for an individual by combining or linking all the records …

The Conversion Of Artemus Millet And His Call To Kirtland, Keith A. Erekson, Lloyd D. Newell
The Conversion Of Artemus Millet And His Call To Kirtland, Keith A. Erekson, Lloyd D. Newell
BYU Studies Quarterly
A frequently told story in Church history concerns the call of Artemus Millet to work on the Kirtland Temple. With variations here and there, historians have related the story as follows: Joseph Smith, in the company of other brethren, is walking where the Kirtland Temple will be built. He wonders aloud who could superintend its construction, and Joseph Young (or Brigham Young or Lorenzo Young) recommends an acquaintance named Artemus Millet, who lives in Canada. The Prophet then sends Brigham Young to Canada to baptize Millet and bring him to Kirtland with one thousand dollars. Historians then relate that Brigham …

Photograph Of Children Traveling To The Salt Lake Temple Dedication, 1893, Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, Marc Alain Bohn
BYU Studies Quarterly
In early 1893, the Latter-day Saints eagerly anticipated the dedication of the Salt Lake Temple, the culmination of more than forty years of effort and struggle. To allow as many Saints as possible to participate, President Wilford Woodruff announced that a series of dedicatory sessions would be held. To accommodate the many Sunday School children who had "donated of their means to assist in building the Salt Lake Temple... and [had] expressed a desire to visit the Temple at its dedication," the First Presidency set aside April 21 and 22 for the youth of the Church to visit the temple. …

“The Great And Dreadful Day Of The Lord”: The Anatomy Of An Expression, Dana M. Pike
“The Great And Dreadful Day Of The Lord”: The Anatomy Of An Expression, Dana M. Pike
BYU Studies Quarterly
Speaking of the last days, the Lord declared through the ancient Israelite prophet Malachi that Elijah would return "before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord" (Mal. 4:5). And through the prophet Joel, the Lord foretold signs in the heavens "before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come" (Joel 2:31). Jesus' Second Coming is the "day of the Lord" referred to in these prophecies. Many Latter0day Saints interpret the phrase "the great and dreadful [or terrible] day of the Lord" to mean the Lord's Second Coming will be "great," or good and desirable, …
Singular And Plural Address In The Scriptures, James R. Rasband
Singular And Plural Address In The Scriptures, James R. Rasband
BYU Studies Quarterly
Steeped in post-Enlightenment philosophy with its primary focus on the individual, modern readers may unwittingly assume that the Lord likewise is focused solely on individuals when he promises blessings or assigns responsibilities. Although the scriptures contain many instances where the Lord speaks to individuals separately, he also speaks to the Church or his people collectively. It is not always easy to distinguish between these two modes of address, especially because the English pronoun you can be either singular or plural. However, awareness of this linguistic issue can improve our reading of the scriptures, at times revising our understanding substantially.

“Strange Ramblings”: The Ideal And Practice Of Sermons In Early Mormonism, Davis Bitton
“Strange Ramblings”: The Ideal And Practice Of Sermons In Early Mormonism, Davis Bitton
BYU Studies Quarterly
People who attended meetings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during its first seventy years heard many sermons preached (fig. 1). But the sermons often seemed different from those heard in Protestant and Catholic congregations. For the Saints, this was further evidence that Mormonism was not tied to a professional clergy but, like primitive Christianity, allowed wide participation by parishioners. Outsiders, however, were often less than favorably impressed with Mormon sermons. According to one observer, most Mormon speakers he heard were guilty of "strange ramblings." Before examining in detail the peculiarities of preaching among the Latter-day Saints, …

An Introduction To The Kirtland Flats Ashery, Benjamin C. Pykles
BYU Studies Quarterly
Reflecting a recent resurgence of interest in one of its most important historic spaces, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is currently restoring a number of historic structures in Kirtland, Ohio, including buildings in the lowland area known as Kirtland Flats (fig. 1). These buildings are part of a major restoration plan designed to significantly increase the quantity and quality of historical interpretation at the site by introducing visitors to the major doctrinal and historical developments of the Church during the seven years its followers resided in Kirtland (1831-1838).

BYU Studies Quarterly
In the dark days of World War II, U.S. service personnel found themselves suddenly far from home, uprooted not only from the physical safety of their native soil but also from the nourishment of loved ones and religious fellowship. In the spiritual desert of war, Latter-day Saints in the military did what they could to tap into the wellspring of their faith, as these photographs of Mormon meetings attest.

Joseph As A Type Of Christ In Syriac Literature, Kristian S. Heal
Joseph As A Type Of Christ In Syriac Literature, Kristian S. Heal
BYU Studies Quarterly
Kept among the marvelous manuscript treasures of the British Library is a fifth-century Syriac manuscript containing details of the lectionary readings, or Old and New Testament passages for religious services. Prominently featured among the Old Testament readings prescribed for Easter are the account of the binding of Isaac and excerpts from the story of Joseph. The story of binding Isaac is clearly apposite to the crucifixion. What is not so clear perhaps is the appropriateness of the story of Joseph as an Easter reading. This is in part because Joseph is often viewed in modern times solely as an example …
