The Summer 2009 issue begins with "The Living Oracles: Legal Interpretation and Mormon Thought" by Nathan B. Oman, who looks at the difficulties faced by Mormon thinkers in relation to some of the thinkers from churches with a longer tradition of such activity, like the Catholic church. This if followed by Katie Clark Blakesley who examines the ever-changing modesty standards in the church and how they compare to the broader American standards during certain eras.
