BYU associate professor Norman Hill on aging better with faith
Q: What has your personal experience taught you about grief and helping others cope?
Through experiencing the loss of my wife, I've learned empathy and the importance of being present and supportive to others going through similar challenges.
BYU associate professor Norman Hill on aging better with faith
Q: What can grandparents do to promote faith-enriching values?
Grandparents can engage formally through camps and informally by sending personal messages related to their grandchildren's interests.
BYU professor Josh Sears on understanding and using Bible translations
Q: What is your perspective on the relationship between scripture translation and understanding the nature of God?
Translation is a tool to understand the word of God, and it's less about which version is right and more about how it helps connect with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
BYU professor Josh Sears on understanding and using Bible translations
Q: What direction would you point them in to perhaps get the most out of their 2026 Old Testament study given this new guidance?
Keep in mind, there's no one right way to do this, and scripture study is supposed to be enriching and wonderful, so if the language of the translation is getting in the way, find a more accessible version.
BYU professor Josh Sears on understanding and using Bible translations
Q: Can you share a little bit of your background in the scriptures and scripture translation?
I'm a biblical scholar with degrees in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament, and I teach classes on the Book of Mormon as well as the Old and New Testaments at Brigham Young University.
