Interpreter (journal)

Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship (formerly known as "Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture") is a non-profit, peer-reviewed, and educational academic journal published by the Interpreter Foundation covering primarily topics relating to the canon of scriptures of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Latter-day Saint apologetics, and Mormon Studies.[1][2] It was established in 2012 by The Interpreter Foundation with Daniel C. Peterson as founding editor-in-chief.[3] Peterson had previously been the founding editor of the journal FARMS Review, which in 2011 had been renamed Mormon Studies Review[4][5][1][2] and soon thereafter re-launched without apologetics as its main focus.[6] The Interpreter Foundation also sponsors debates and discussions. These have included two symposia focused on the relationship between science and Mormonism.[7] The journal publishes historical surveys, responses to critics, book reviews, personal essays, and other scholarly literature — all with the primary goal of increasing understanding of Latter-day Saint scripture and defending it.
