announcement

The Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship is pleased to announce an exciting agreement with Salt Press. The Maxwell Institute will rerelease all previously published Salt Press books, publish its forthcoming titles, and will welcome Salt’s four founders onto an editorial advisory board for Mormon studies titles.

“The Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship both gathers and nurtures disciple-scholars. As a research community, the Institute supports scholars whose work inspires and fortifies Latter-day Saints in their testimonies of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and engages the world of religious ideas.” To read our full mission statement, visit http://mi.byu.edu/about/.

So this is it: The brand-new Maxwell Institute Blog. Consider it as a sneak preview of the newly designed website we plan to roll out in the next few months. You may notice a few small changes as we continue to update the blog. In the meantime, the blog will feature posts about our forthcoming books, author Q&A’s, Mormon studies conference announcements and coverage, and commentary on excerpts from our past and future publications. It will also provide brief book notices, institute research updates, and news about our Nibley Fellows. Perhaps a few guest posts will crop up now and then, too.
