Summer 1999
The Summer 1999 Issue explores the development of Mormon identity, history, and public perception through various lenses. Neal and Rebecca Chandler offer reflective monologues on the concept of “sanctimony,” exploring themes of self-righteousness and humility within dialogues among believers. Devery S. Anderson traces the early years of Dialogue (1965–1971), documenting the challenges and achievements of this publication that sought to foster open, intellectual discussions within Mormonism. Mark Koltko-Rivera examines Mormon “psychohistory,” providing psychological insights into the past, present, and potential future of the Latter-day Saint community. Cherie Woodworth’s piece, titled "Coupé," brings personal perspective, while Chiung Hwang Chen and Ethan Yorgason analyze how the media frames Mormons as a “model minority,” investigating both the positive and problematic aspects of this portrayal.
