Volume 45, No. 4
Winter 2012
The Winter 2012 issue begins with Stephen Taysom taking an academic approach to understanding the Book of Mormon, looking at it as a literary work and addressing concerns regarding the narrative structure of the book. This is followed by Walter E. A. Van Beck and "The Temple and the Sacred: Dutch Temple Experiences," which contains the specific experiences in the temple of those living in the Netherlands and how their culture has influenced their interpretation of the entire temple experience. The issue also contains several personal voices, some beautiful works of poetry, and an inspired sermon on different types of faith and how those without life changing spiritual experiences can still live a life of faith and conviction.
