Interpreter (journal)

Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship (formerly known as "Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture") is a nonprofit, peer-reviewed, and educational academic journal published by the Interpreter Foundation primarily covering topics related to Latter-day Saint apologetics, Mormon studies, and the canon of scriptures of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1][2] It was established in July 2012 by the Interpreter Foundation with Daniel C. Peterson as founding editor-in-chief.[3][4] Peterson had previously been the founding editor of the journal FARMS Review, which in 2011 had been renamed the Mormon Studies Review[5][6][1][2] and soon thereafter re-launched without apologetics as its main focus.[7][4] The Interpreter Foundation also sponsors debates and discussions. These have included two symposia focused on the relationship between science and Mormonism.[8] 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 religion.[3][9] The Interpreter also sometimes publishes material not directly related to scripture.[9]
