Dr. Ravi Gupta joins guest host Philip Barlow to talk about faith and scholarship. Dr. Gupta was a visiting scholar at the Maxwell Institute this semester, and a previous guest on the Maxwell Institute Podcast. He's a practicing Hindu and also a scholar of Hinduism, and he's become a close friend of the Institute over the past few years. He's known Dr. Barlow for even longer, so you'll hear two old friends talking about the benefits and drawbacks of being a believer and a scholar of one's own religious tradition. About the Guest Ravi M. Gupta is the Charles Redd Professor of Religious Studies at Utah State University. He is the author or editor of four books, including an abridged translation (with Kenneth Valpey) of the Bhagavata Purana, one of India's most beloved sacred texts in the Sanskrit language. Ravi holds a doctorate in Hindu Studies from Oxford University and has taught at the University of Florida, Centre College, and the College of William and Mary. His current interests have drawn him to religion and ecology. The post GUEST HOST—Pursuing the intellectual life from a place of commitment, with Ravi Gupta & Philip Barlow [MIPodcast #123] appeared first on Neal A. Maxwell Institute | BYU.

Tina Landis, environmental and social justice advocate and author of "Climate Solutions Beyond Capitalism," joins us to discuss what looks like some good news - a victory in the fight to connect air polluters to the deaths they cause. Last week, in what is being called a landmark case, a coroner in the UK ruled that air pollution was a cause of death for a 9-year-old London girl. "Philip Barlow, the inner south London coroner, said Ella Kissi-Debrah’s death in February 2013 was caused by acute respiratory failure, severe asthma and air pollution exposure," The Guardian reported. He said over the course of her life, emissions of nitrogen dioxide exceeded EU and national safety thresholds, particulate matter levels exceeded World Health Organization guidelines and that that kind of pollution "both induced and exacerbated" her severe asthma, the outlet noted. What could this mean in other pollution cases?Community organizer Maru Mora-Villalpando, an immigrant to the US and founder of La Resistencia; and Carlos Castaneda, immigration attorney, joins us to discuss Mexico’s apparent effort to control the work of US officials and agents inside Mexico - and the way it’s being covered. A Daily Beast story put it this way: “‘The Winners Are the Cartels’: Mexico Slaps Cuffs on the DEA.” But upon reading the story, it looks like a country just trying to place some restrictions on the actions of foreign agents within its borders. The Daily Beast is appalled that the reform strips diplomatic immunity from US agents in Mexico, but isn't diplomatic immunity for foreign mission staff, not for Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and FBI agents? The law also says foreign agents have to apply to Mexican authorities to carry a firearm in the country and that they have to share information they gather with Mexican officials and federal authorities, none of which sounds shocking to me. What's going on here?Alan MacLeod, author, journalist, media analyst and member of the Glasgow University Media Group, joins us to discuss what it is like to be inside the UK right now as the country deals with a new variant of COVID-19, as well as what exactly is in the latest pandemic stimulus bill here in the US. "Britain was all but cut off from the rest of Europe on Monday, with flights and trains banned by some 40 countries and freight deliveries halted at French ports, as its neighbors tried desperately to stop a fast-spreading variant of the coronavirus from leaving the UK," the New York Times reported.Jackie Luqman, co-host of By Any Means Necessary, joins us as we look at "Small Axe," a British anthology film series created and directed by Steve McQueen. The anthology consists of five original films which tell distinct stories about the lives of West Indian immigrants in London during the 1960s, '70s and '80s.

371: New Perspectives on Joseph Smith and "Translation"

Mormon Matters - (Dan Wotherspoon ARCHIVE)

As Richard Bushman mentions in this podcast episode, one of the very first things Joseph Smith did in announcing himself to the world was to take on the title of "translator." What an audacious thing, especially as Mormonism associates translation with the gift of seership, even proclaiming that "a seer is greater than a prophet" (Mosiah 8:15). Since declaring himself a translator, and yet it being apparent that he knew no ancient languages, exactly what Smith meant by "translation" has been an ongoing debate both within and without the faith. Though never a particularly settled question, it has in recent years become a topic of renewed fascination within Mormon scholarly circles, and with the release in the past 18 months of images and more information of the seerstone Smith used in translating the Book of Mormon, it has caught on as a fresh area of inquiry among non-specialists as well. In addition new angles of inquiry are emerging that examine the notion of translation far beyond the confines of Book of Mormon production. Recognizing this renewed interest and the fascination of the approaches being taken, the Utah State University religious studies program, in partnership with the Faith Matters Foundation, are convening a conference on 16 March 2017 at Utah State exploring these emerging perspectives with great energy. This episode of Mormon Matters hosts three of the conference's participants, Richard Bushman, Samuel Brown, and Philip Barlow, to tease some of the new perspectives finding some footing and why discussions like this are important and fascinating both to scholars and lay church members. The episode, of course, mentions the conference a lot, but even for someone not able to even consider attending, there are wonderful insights aplenty as host Dan Wotherspoon turned these three great thinkers loose to talk about things for which they have great passion.  We think you'll love listening in, and after you do, we hope you'll add your thoughts in the comments section!

Dr. Philip Barlow exclaims "The Joseph Smith in our heads is too small!” in the 13th podcast recorded at the Miller-Eccles Group in February. As explained at the website: that is an astounding claim, given the international derision and devotion he has inspired among millions. Yet the scope, nature, and radicalism of his prophetic project is more vast and more radical than his followers or critics generally grasp. He was correct in more ways than he may have intended when he said, "No man knows my history." The post Dialogue Lectures #13 w/Philip Barlow appeared first on Dialogue Journal.

One of the most difficult but important things we can do as Mormons who are alerted to the complexities of cultural differences and sacred writings is to learn how to share in church settings insights we’ve gleaned from our studies. We have a dual challenge: (1) to try to be as faithful as possible to the scriptural text and the context in which it was written and the people who lived in those places and times, while (2) still honoring in some way the Christian and LDS overlays that have become deeply ingrained in ours and others’ faith journeys and worldviews--framings and understandings that can only graft in a few new pieces at a time. In this episode, panelists Jana Riess, Philip Barlow, and Carrie Miles join Mormon Matters host Dan Wotherspoon for an exploration of the Old Testament, paying particular attention to this delicate dance of faithfulness to both text and communities. What important framings might we offer as teachers or class members that can help open the discussion beyond just literal readings or approaches that assume that ancient Israelite rituals, temples, and practices were really just like ours of today, that these ancient peoples were essentially "proto-Mormons," hardly different at all from us in their doctrines of God and sense of what things mean? What riches does the Old Testament possess that would be wonderful to convey even if they might complicate current LDS assumptions?

In this episode, Mormon Matters host Dan Wotherspoon and panelists Kristine Haglund, Dallas Robbins, and Philip Barlow discuss two topics: 1) The LDS Church’s recent reaffirmation of the King James Version as is its official Bible translation, and 2) the changes it has made to chapter headings in the online version of the Book of Mormon (changes that will be carried forward in future printings) that de-emphasize the idea of darker skin as a curse from God. What is the significance of this renewed commitment to the KJV instead of switching to newer, more scholarly Bible versions based on older manuscripts, translated into more modern English, and increasingly the Bibles of choice for other Christians? What are the possible positive and negative impacts of the Church’s continued use of this translation on missionary efforts, scriptural literacy among the rising generation, and so forth? What do the new Book of Mormon chapter headings say about the continued fading of Mormonism’s history of equating skin color with God’s blessing or cursing? What steps might be next? What steps should be next?
