Each year, Brigham Young University Religious Education professors produce hundreds of publications on subjects related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This podcast brings this research into one place to enlighten the everyday seeker of truth. Interviewing the author, we discuss why the study was done, why it matters, and why the professor chooses to be both a scholar, and a disciple. This is Y Religion.
Questions about Latter-day Saint women and priesthood have been swirling for years. In this episode, Dr. Barbara Morgan Gardner shares her research that provides insights into why Latter-day Saint women have priesthood, and why understanding differences between ecclesiastical, familial, and covenantal priesthood can help us grasp the divine power and authority available to us all.
Publications:
“Connecting Daughters of God with His Priesthood Power” (Ensign/Liahona, March 2019)
The Priesthood Power of Women: In the Temple, Church, and Family (Deseret Book, 2019)
It’s not uncommon for Latter-day Saints to say that Christ atoned in the Garden of Gethsemane, but not on the cross. In this episode, Dr. John Hilton III explores why this typical answer doesn’t align with our own scriptural teachings on the crucifixion, why it should, and why the cross can be a symbol of a living, and a loving Savior.
Publication:
“Teaching the Scriptural Emphasis on the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ” (Religious Educator, vol. 20, no. 3 2019)
