Introducing Book Reviews

May 18, 2012

Blair Hodges brings his years of reviewing experience to Dialogue in a new section devoted to Book Reviews of interest to Dialogue readers. He shares insights and opinions about recent Mormon-flavored books ranging from theology to history to memoir to biography and more.
Click in to explore some of his recent ones including a look at Joanna Brooks’ new memoir (“This brings me to what I understand to be the heart of the matter, especially for Mormon readers of Brooks’s book: the tension between personal and institutional revelation; or, questions of authority.”) as well as two (now three!) offerings from the new Salt Press (“…we all come to the text with various preconceptions, hopes, fears, and experiences which help determine what we get out of our reading. These particular (peculiar?) volumes encourage us as readers, above all, to pay close attention to what we bring to the text.”)
And that’s just a taste of what’s to come so bookmark Dialogue’s new Book Reviews (found in the menu above) and check back often.
