The Lord Weeps for His Children: Some Questions from Moses 7
Biologist and novelist Steven Peck brings scientific reasoning, theological imagination, and Restoration scripture into conversation to explore one of the most arresting scenes in all of scripture. Drawing on ideas of causality from evolutionary biology and a literary comparison, Peck challenges readings of divine wrath that make God the direct author of suffering—and instead invites us to see a God who mourns, honors human agency, and calls His children to relieve suffering alongside Him.

MIPodcast #179: Time (Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants) Featuring Philip L. Barlow
Today I have a terrific interview with my colleague Philip A. Barlow on his new book Time, just out from the Maxwell Institute. Phil is a senior fellow and my colleague here at the Maxwell Institute.
You’ll notice his kindness and humor during the interview, and you’ll also notice his wisdom and creativity. Phil is a legendary teacher: he taught for many years at Hanover College, and then served for more than a decade as the Leonard J. Arrington Chair of Mormon History & Culture at Utah State University. He’s the author of an important book, Mormons and the Bible, and lots of other notable publications. He’s currently working on a fascinating study of the war in heaven.
