Dialogue Journal Podcast

<p>The newest Dialogue podcast features Dr. Jared Hickman, Assistant Professor in the English Department of Johns Hopkins University. Professor Hickman speaks on his essay "The Book of Mormon as Amerindian Apocalypse," which was published in <em>American Literature</em>, a literary journal published by Duke University Press. <img class=" wp-image-7562 alignright" src="https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Hickman-Jared.jpg" alt="Hickman-Jared" width="373" height="248" /><br /> From the Miller Eccles website: Recent official statements have left some doubt about the traditional understanding of the Book of Mormon as a history of “the Indians.” This presents us with two especially important tasks: 1) to understand why the “Indian question” seemed important enough, both politically and theologically, in Joseph Smith’s time and place, to claim such attention in a new scripture; and 2) to pay closer attention to the Book of Mormon text, which itself, in emphasizing the “Indian question,” offers a new narrative for understanding what it means. If we read with such questions in mind, we can recognize in the Book of Mormon a vision (or program) for Native American resurgence radically opposed to the European and American colonialism of Joseph Smith’s time.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com/diablogue/dialogue-podcast-28-wjared-hickman/">Dialogue Lectures #28 w/Jared Hickman</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com">Dialogue Journal</a>.</p>

He discusses his new article, “<a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V48N02_cc.pdf">The Struggle for Female Authority in Biblical and Mormon Traditions</a>,” published in the 2015 Summer issue of<a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com/"><em> Dialogue — A Journal of Mormon Thought</em>.</a> From the <a href="http://www.millereccles.org/?p=3164">Miller Eccles website</a>:<br /> "The Old Testament refers to righteous women exercising authority, such as Deborah, the Prophetess and a Judge of Israel (Judges 4). Likewise, in the New Testament, the Apostle Paul mentions righteous women as fellow servants, such as Phebe, Junia and others. Yet many statements attributed to Paul concerning the role of women in the primitive church are contradictory.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com/diablogue/dialogue-podcast-27-wcory-crawford/">Dialogue Lectures #27 w/Cory Crawford</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com">Dialogue Journal</a>.</p>

From the Miller Eccles website:<br /> The Nigerian Mormon story enjoys a fascinating cachet in Mormon thought. Often cast as “a people prepared” and “Saints without baptism,” standard Mormon narratives cast Nigerian Mormonism as an expression of racial dispensationalism in the grand arc of the Church in the latter days. But when understood on its own terms, Nigerian Mormonism defies such easy categorizations. Contrary to the narratives of racial dispensationalism, Nigerian Mormonism enjoys legitimacy independent of its attachment to the institutional Mormon community.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com/diablogue/dialogue-podcast-25-wrussell-stevenson/">Dialogue Lectures #25 w/Russell Stevenson</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com">Dialogue Journal</a>.</p>

Offering a call for understanding and unity and a path for more local inclusion of women, Neylan McBaine takes a middle ground between insisting all is well and advocating priesthood for women.

From the Miller-Eccles website: "When writing about Joseph Smith, observers almost reflexively invoke the term “incomparable.” The Latter-day Saint prophet can indeed make comparison difficult. And this may be particularly true of his engagement with antiquity. Smith’s forays into the ancient world, from Abrahamic papyri to American Mulekites, often appear so distinctive or peculiar as to resist analogy. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com/diablogue/dialogue-podcast-20-wdavid-holland/">Dialogue Lectures #20 w/David Holland</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com">Dialogue Journal</a>.</p>

From the Miller Eccles site: "(this book) unsettles a variety of assumptions in political and security discourse, demonstrating that the security of women is a vital factor in the security of the state and its incidence of conflict and war. Much of the data underlying Dr. Hudson’s research comes from the WomanStats Project, a research and database project housed at BYU that 'seeks to collect detailed statistical data on the status of women around the world, and to connect that data with data on the security of states.' This database has the most comprehensive compilation of information on the status of women in the world."</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com/diablogue/dialogue-podcast-16-wvalerie-hudson/">Dialogue Lectures #16 w/Valerie Hudson</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com">Dialogue Journal</a>.</p>
