Where we discuss stories, ideas, and what it all means.

The Book of Mormon Storybook for Little Saints is a collection of 50 Book of Mormon stories, adapted for children and parents. We focus on telling the story so that the characters' humanity and the core doctrinal principles they depended on shine forth: primarily, God so loved the world.

Joseph Smith referred to “Holy men [and women] ye know not of.” We might take that as an implicit challenge to recover many of these lost voices in the wilderness, be provoked and inspired by them, and weave them into our own spiritual quest for wholeness and healing of ourselves and the world. This regular column by Terryl Givens will celebrate some of these voices and reflect the author's own wrestles with their visionary words.

Inspired by Eastern European Jewish folktales, Tales of the Chelm First Ward is a tender look into a ward composed solely of village idiots. Written by James Goldberg, Nicole Wilkes Goldberg, and Mattathias Singh, with art by David Habben.

The Five Books of Jesus, James Goldberg’s lyrical novelization of Jesus’ ministry, tells the story of the gospels as Jesus' followers might have experienced it: without knowing what would happen next or how to make sense of events as they unfold. Accompanied by original artwork by Sarah Hawkes

I believe that in seeking truth, we uncover layers of meaning and juxtapose against each other seemingly contradictory facets of an idea. Because the truths that matter most quite often lie at the intersection of paradox, we don't shy away from those apparent contradictions. Rather, we seek to draw closer to truth, as inspired by Joseph Smith, through "proving contraries." —Tyler Johnson

Commentary on the stories and art that reflect and shape our world

Meditations, stories, explorations, and experiments with theology

In Meet the Early-day Saints, host Blair Hodges takes you on a journey through time to meet the earliest disciples of Jesus. You’ll learn from a wide range of esteemed Latter-day Saint scholars who reveal the similarities and differences between ancient Christian faith and ours today. Throughout the series, some of your common assumptions may be challenged and in the process you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each guest is a contributor to the new book Ancient Christians: An Introduction for Latter-day Saints, from the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship.

Teresa of Ávila wrote that “the most reliable sign” that we’re following the command to love God and our neighbor “is that we are loving each other.” It’s an injunction that feels particularly pressing in situations where we disagree about belief. This column from Jon Ogden explores how to love in such circumstances, pulling from the Apostle Paul’s sentiment that “[love] does not insist on its own way” and the line “one step enough for me” from the hymn “Lead Kindly Light.” When we feel like we don’t have all the answers we can still work to love more fully.
