    Renowned historian of Mormonism Richard Lyman Bushman's latest book presents a vibrant history of a sacred object that gave birth to a new religion: the gold plates Joseph Smith said he discovered in upstate New York in the s. Believers hailed Smith as a revered prophet and translator of lost languages while critics warned the public he was a dangerous charlatan. Two hundred years later the mystery of the gold plates remains. 

    In Joseph Smith's Gold Plates: A Cultural History (Oxford UP, ), Bushman offers a cultural history of the gold plates down through the years. How have they been imagined by believers, critics, and skeptics, by treasure-seekers, novelists, artists, scholars, and others? 

    In this interview, Bushman talks about his personal relationship to the project and whether he thinks the plates can help re-enchant a largely disenchanted modern world. 

    Hosted by Blair Hodges, host of the new podcast Family Proclamations, Fireside with Blair Hodges, and formerly the Maxwell Institute Podcast at Brigham Young University.

    Clement A. Price: Featured in new documentary about Newark

    Cherry blossoms blooming in springtime. Stately houses of worship and historic structures rising above a city skyline. Baseball, art and foods from around the world. Sounds like Washington? Think again –this is Newark, a city that many people know of – but few people actually know. A new film about Newark, to be broadcast in October, will change that. “The Once and Future Newark,” a documentary hosted by famed historian Clement A. Price, will premiere on NJN Public Television in New

    Michael Fry: Scotland's most prolific historian now favors independence from UK

    SCOTLAND'S most pro-British historian has performed a remarkable about-face and declared his support for Scottish independence. Michael Fry, a former Scottish candidate for the Conservative and Unionist Party, says the break-up of Britain is essential if Scotland is to thrive. His conversion is a symptom of the growing support north of the border for a separate Scotland, with more people now saying they would back independence rather than the status quo in a referendum.

    Richard Lyman Bushman: A Mormon historian reflects on his biography of Joseph Smith

    Most reviews of my recent biography, Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling, mention that I am a practicing Mormon. The Sunday New York Times titled its review, "Latter-Day Saint: A practicing Mormon delivers a balanced biography of the church’s founder, Joseph Smith." Perhaps a little oversensitive, I wondered why this was news. Was a Mormon telling the story of the church’s founding prophet with a degree of objectivity something like man bites dog? Did

    &#;Burying the lede&#; is a phrase from journalism.  It means to withhold the most important information in a story until later.  The “lede” is the introductory section of a news story, usually the first paragraph, and delaying, hiding, or “burying” it is generally regarded as bad journalistic practice.  After all, many consumers of the news won’t read past the headline.

    I won’t commit that error in this column, so here’s the “lede”:  The Interpreter Foundation’s dramatic film Witnesses is now available for free streaming throughout the current month, February   Its accompanying docudrama, Undaunted: Witnesses of the Book of Mormon, is now permanently available for free streaming.  We’ve released them online in support of this year’s “Come, Follow Me” curriculum, which focuses in February on the coming forth of the Book of Mormon and on the witnesses to the golden plates.

    Happily, too, the Foundation’s theatrical movie, Six Days in August, which tells the dramatic story of the succession crisis that followed the deaths of Joseph and Hyrum Smith in , is now streaming from a variety of commercial platforms.  I’ll provide information at the close of this column about how to access these films.

    I want, though, to give a bit of my own personal background story for these films.  What is it that has led me, a mild-mannered (and now retired) BYU professor of Islamic studies and Arabic, to become a movie mogul?  Why am I devoting so much time and effort to making films when I could, instead, be working on my backswing and immersing myself in daily games of Bingo and Solitaire?

    Even where I grew up in greater Los Angeles, there were only a few television channels when I was young.  Moreover, although the current generation may find it difficult to imagine, there were no videotapes or DVDs or Blu-rays for rent, and no streaming platforms.  As a result, we couldn’t simply think of just a
