Volume 40, No. 4
Winter 2007
The Winter 2007 issue begins with Nathan Oman defending the authority of church doctrine, and sets out to clarify the hurdle members of the church face in differentiating what is and is not doctrine. This is followed by Ethan Yorgason who explores communication as it pertains to religion, specifically the evolution of our communication and examining of our eternal yearning for deep connection with each other. These are followed by a look at the dynamic of church in Bolivia and Finland by David Clark Knowlton and Kim B. Ostman, respectively. Finally, we have a large collection of poetry, several works of fiction, and a few reviews.
