  • Awful academic rubbish

    I was hoping to gain some insight in section 88 and instead the two speakers took

    verse 15 to discuss “embodiment” and racial embodiment. Racial essentialism is a cancer and it is a shame that the Maxwell Institute has allowed it to metastasize.

  • Great new focus

    I look forward to the new focus on themes from the Doctrine and Covenants. The first in the series was very good. The discussion on agency was interesting and helpful to think in broader ways in today’s world. It inspires me to get the book to learn even more.

  • Always Good

    Excellent topics and great discussions. Only downside is the audio quality has suffered the last few episodes. It sounds like something like AM radio and someone talking underwater.

  • Mormon Studies?

    Is this about Maxwell insights or Mormon studies? I think you need to be more clear on target audience.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maxwell Institute Podcast #182: The Future of Religion in the United Kingdom with Thomas Russell
Q: What is your gut feeling about the future of traditional organized religion based on your interviews?
There might be a renewal where people are leaving organized religion but still identifying as spiritual; communities need to be vibrant and find ways to be organized in an unorganized way.
Maxwell Institute Podcast #181: Seventy Times Seven: Jesus's Path to Conflict Transformation with Chad Ford
Q: Chad, I really want to dive into forgiveness today. Why it's so hard, why it's unpopular, and how we can better learn to forgive. But first, would you please tell us a little about your work and what inspired you to write a book about something so unpopular as Forgiveness and Conflict Transformation?
Chad explains that he's been influenced by both Christian and non-Christian peace builders. He acknowledges the difficulty of blending academic conflict mediation with spiritual practices and emphasizes the importance of addressing conflict through practical techniques inspired by Jesus.
Maxwell Institute Podcast #179: Time (Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants) with Philip Barlow
Q: How can we become good ancestors for our future descendants?
By being mindful about our actions today, we can influence those who come after us, as our lives are interconnected through time with both our ancestors and descendants.
Maxwell Institute Podcast #179: Time (Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants) with Philip Barlow
Q: How does time relate to the principles of the Gospel?
Time is intertwined with all gospel principles, as noted by Barlow, suggesting it operates as the zero principle at the foundation of faith, repentance, and other core beliefs.
Maxwell Institute Podcast #175: Divine Law (Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants) with Justin Collings
Q: What is the working definition of law that you landed on and that runs throughout this book?
The best definition I could come up with is that law is a redemptive direction, or a redemptive directive, aimed at turning us towards salvation.
