Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Volume 30 Number 4, Winter 1997

by John P. Meier (Contributor)

Dialogue is an independent quarterly established to express Mormon culture and to examine the relevance of religion to secular life. It is edited by Latter-day Saints who wish to bring their faith into dialogue with the larger stream of Judeo-Christian thought and with human experience as a whole and to foster artistic and scholarly achievement based on their cultural heritage. The journal encourages a variety of viewpoints; although every effort is made to ensure accurate scholarship and responsible judgment, the views expressed are those of the individual authors and are not necessarily those of the Mormon Church or of the editors. Dialogue welcomes articles, essays, poetry, fiction, notes and art.
