Volume 39, No. 2
Summer 2006
The Summer 2006 issue begins with "Eternal Progression in a Multiverse: An Explorative Mormon Cosmology" which provides a fascinating connection between the Mormon doctrine of eternal progression and the multiverse theory, providing a look at how the doctrine would be implemented should the multiverse theory be true. This is followed by "Without Purse or Scrip in Scotland" by Polly Aird which takes a look at Scottish missionaries serving in Scotland in the nineteenth century. Finally, we have an exploration of patriarchy and gender equality in the Bible, specifically referencing Paul's writings to the Ephesians. Also included in this issue are several beautiful works of art, a pair of fictional works, and a reflection on forty years of Dialogue.
