Mormon Studies Review Volume 23, Number 1

Emerging from a 22-year tradition of penetrating scholarly reviews and essays is the new Mormon Studies Review. Formerly titled The FARMS Review, it sports a sleeker design and larger format and promises to survey a broader spectrum of topics. The Mormon Studies Review will continue to defend LDS scripture and faith claims through the vigorous and learned discourse that has set it apart from the beginning.
