The Day The “Brave Sons Of Mohamed” Saved A Group Of Mormons, David P. Charles
The Day The “Brave Sons Of Mohamed” Saved A Group Of Mormons, David P. Charles
BYU Studies Quarterly
On March 13, 1899, a small number of Latter-day Saints visited the Armenian cemetery of Aintab (modern Gaziantep), a then-provincial town in what is today southern central Turkey. In this group were two American missionaries, Philip S. Maycock and Joseph W. Booth, and several Armenian converts. Many of the area's Christians were observing Shrove Monday (the first day of Lent), and the cemetery, following Armenian tradition, was crowded with people picnicking and commemorating the loss of loved ones. Recognizing the situation as an opportunity to preach the gospel, the Saints gathered with some friends in a small ravine nearby, where …
Mormonism And Islam: From Polemics To Mutual Respect And Cooperation, Arnold H. Green
Mormonism And Islam: From Polemics To Mutual Respect And Cooperation, Arnold H. Green
BYU Studies Quarterly
The world's fastest growing religion is either Islam (if considering annual growth in total numbers) or Mormonism (if considering annual growth in percentage terms). These two rapidly expanding global faiths are certain to increase interactions with each other. Already, in the minds of some clergymen, the two faiths have become associated in several ways, including Mormonism's being called "the Islam of America." While Muslim leaders have so far paid little attention to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Church's General Authorities have expressed opinions about Islam. At first, they reacted negatively to being equated with it. Later, …

Remembering Christmas Past: Presidents Of The Church Celebrate The Birth Of The Son Of Man And Remember His Servant Joseph Smith, Larry C. Porter
Remembering Christmas Past: Presidents Of The Church Celebrate The Birth Of The Son Of Man And Remember His Servant Joseph Smith, Larry C. Porter
BYU Studies Quarterly
At Christmastime the story of the sojourn of Jesus Christ from Bethlehem to Calvary enjoys a resurgence among countless millions. For Latter-day Saints there is a second tradition associated with this special season—remembering the Prophet Joseph Smith and the course of events in his life from Sharon, Vermont, to Carthage, Illinois. As we commemorate anew these two births, we have cause to turn back time and review selected Christmas memories and moments from the lives of the fifteen Presidents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“All Hail To Christmas”: Mormon Pioneer Holiday Celebrations, Richard Ian Kimball
“All Hail To Christmas”: Mormon Pioneer Holiday Celebrations, Richard Ian Kimball
BYU Studies Quarterly
To Mormon historians and members of the Church generally, Christmas is not a particularly "Mormon" holiday. Though contemporary Latter-day Saints throughout the world embrace a variety of traditions that commemorate the holiday, no major body of distinctively Mormon tradition surrounds the day in December traditionally reserved for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Mormons celebrate the holiday like most other Christians—reading from the nativity account in Luke, exchanging presents, and spending time with family and friends. Santa Claus, decorated trees, and the redemptive story of Ebenezer Scrooge all are staples of the winter holiday for Mormons in the …

Culture Carol: Dickens's Influence On Lds Christmas Fiction, Rosalynde Frandsen Welch
BYU Studies Quarterly
During the festive weeks before Christmas feasts, everybody loves to hate Scrooge. That's how it always was in the household of my childhood. On the first Sunday afternoon of December, my father would gather the children in the family room and ceremonially produce our green hardbound edition of A Christmas Carol. He worked his way through the five staves of the Carol during that afternoon and the Sunday afternoons that followed, in order to complete the reading before Christmas Day. Although the younger children would fidget and the older children would complain, we needed the annual retelling of the …
A Joseph Smith For The Twenty-First Century, Richard Lyman Bushman
A Joseph Smith For The Twenty-First Century, Richard Lyman Bushman
BYU Studies Quarterly
Since Henry Caswall published The Prophet of the Nineteenth Century in 1843, a year before Joseph Smith's death, nineteen book-length biographies of the Prophet have appeared in print, more than half of them since 1940. They differ wildly in tone and perspective, as might be imagined. Several are still worth considering by serious students of Joseph Smith's life. Among the more notable, I. Woodbridge Riley's The Founder of Mormonism is severely critical but ingenious and original, the first biography to attempt a scientific explanation of Joseph Smith's revelations. Fawn Brodie's No Man Knows My History is a magnificent piece of …
The Evacuation Of The Czechoslovak And German Missions At The Outbreak Of World War Ii, David F. Boone
The Evacuation Of The Czechoslovak And German Missions At The Outbreak Of World War Ii, David F. Boone
BYU Studies Quarterly
The evacuation of Latter-day Saint missionaries from Europe at the outbreak of World War II was truly a unique event in Church history. At the beginning of World War I, a few American missionaries serving in Europe were moved to areas of safety, but until 1939 there had never been a large-scale evacuation of missionaries as a result of their being endangered by impending war (fig. 1). As the threat of war gathered over Europe in the late 1930s, Latter-day Saint Church leaders in Salt Lake City watched anxiously. In August 1939, there were missionaries laboring in Great Britain, Germany, …

Tools Leave Marks: Material Analysis Of The Scotford-Soper-Savage Michigan Relics, Richard B. Stamps
Tools Leave Marks: Material Analysis Of The Scotford-Soper-Savage Michigan Relics, Richard B. Stamps
BYU Studies Quarterly
Extensive collections of supposedly prehistoric artifacts known as the Michigan Relics or the Scotford-Soper-Savage collection—possibly as many as 3,000 pieces—exist across the country. I have personally examined more than 1,000 from four different collections. What is so special about this collection of artifacts? Why does it merit further study? Although numerous previous studies have suggested that the materials were not made by ancient people but are of modern origin, there is ongoing interest in the collections. Dr. John Halsey, the state archaeologist of Michigan, says that his office gets more requests to see these materials than any other single collection. …
Mormonism's Encounter With The Michigan Relics, Mark Ashurst-Mcgee
Mormonism's Encounter With The Michigan Relics, Mark Ashurst-Mcgee
BYU Studies Quarterly
One of the strangest and most extensive archaeological hoaxes in American history was perpetrated around the turn of the twentieth century in Michigan. Hundreds of objects known as the Michigan Relics were made to appear as the remains of a lost civilization. The artifacts were produced, buried, "discovered," and marketed by James O. Scotford and Daniel E. Soper. For three decades these artifacts were secretly planted in earthen mounds, publicly removed, and lauded as wonderful discoveries. Because the Michigan Relics allegedly evidence a Near Eastern presence in ancient America, they have drawn interest from The Church of Jesus Christ of …
