Latter-day Saint Theology (feat. James Faulconer) Season 4, Episode 9
February 18, 2023

Hosted by Stephen Betts.
Dr. James Faulconer, a Latter-day Saint philosopher and theologian now emeritus of Brigham Young University joins me to discuss “performative” or “scriptural” theology and how it helps illuminate Latter-day Saint scripture.
