The Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship is hosting a Wonder of Scripture Lecture Series, every Friday this semester. These lectures feature scholars from across campus and the world will dive deep into scripture and its meaning.
Philip Barlow is a senior research fellow at the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship at Brigham Young University. Previously he was the inaugural Leonard J. Arrington Professor of Mormon History & Culture at Utah State University. His book-length writings on religion have contemplated such arenas as belief (A Thoughtful Faith for the 21st Century, editor; Faith Matters, 2025), religion and “place” (the New Historical Atlas of Religion in America, with Edwin Scott Gaustad), and scripture (Mormons and the Bible).
With Terryl Givens he is the editor of the Oxford Handbook of Mormonism. He is the author most recently of Time for the Maxwell Institute series, Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants (Maxwell Institute and Deseret Book, 2024).
