Professor Jan Shipps, who has studied Mormonism for four decades, was the guest for the Chronicle's "Colloquy Live." The hour-long on-line discussion began at 2 p.m., Eastern Time. Shipps answered questions about the emergence of Mormonism as a new religious tradition on the world stage. Interested persons posted questions during a chat session which is archived at http://chronicle.com/colloquylive/2002/03/mormon/. This colloquy was connected to the Chronicle's recent publication of a lengthy article that recounts how much research and writing about the Latter-day Saints is "not just for Mormons anymore." Shipps, who has studied Mormonism for 40 years, is considered the most knowledgeable and prominent non-Mormon scholar studying the Latter-day Saints. |
