Description
Adam Miller talks to Steve about the inspiration behind his 2013 "Letters to a Young Mormon"--his own children--and the reception this collection of essays has received over the past decade. Think of this discussion as a foreword to In Good Faith Presents: Letters to a Young Mormon, a reading of Miller's essays by Sam Payne, host of The Apple Seed. Adam is a professor of philosophy at Collin College in McKinney, Texas. He earned a BA in Comparative Literature from Brigham Young University and an MA and PhD in Philosophy from Villanova University. He is the author of eight books and serves as the current director of the Mormon Theology Seminar. He and his wife, Gwen, have three children. In 2018, President Russell M Nelson, the leader of the Church requested that members refer to themselves as Latter-day Saints and to the Church as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This book was published in 2013, so you’ll hear the narrator refer to Mormons and the Mormon Church throughout the readings. We hope this historical artifact doesn’t keep you from enjoying the wisdom of the letters.
