Kevin Graham earlier wrote in this thread:
Five of those FARMS Review were responding to the 'critic' Grant H. Palmer's Book titled, 'An Insider's View of Mormon Origins.' I did Not like the Review that Davis Bitton did of Grant Palmer's Book. His Review was titled, 'The Charge of a Man with a Broken Lance (But Look What He Doesn't Tell Us).' That was one of the worst FARMS Revies that I have ever read. I did however kind of like the Article that was written by Brian D. Stubbs titled 'Elusive Israel and the Numerical Dynamics of Population Mixing' in the FARMS Review Volume 15 #2.
FARMS Review 15/2 Editor's Introduction: Of "Galileo Events" (in reference to Sunstone Symposium)
FR 15/2 in a nutshell: Three reviews of pro-LDS books (including Hugh Nibley: A Consecrated Life) and twelve articles dedicated to responding to critics of things LDS, five of which were responding to the same critic! Oh yeah, there was also a review of “Most Moved Mover: A Theology of God's Openness.” But of course, this was reviewed not as a result of FARMS being involved in “Ancient Scripture,” but because of the apologetic value this book offers for LDS apologists.

Re: DCP Discusses Peer Review at FARMS
This is an old interesting thread for anyone who wants a better understanding of the "peer review" process at the Mormon Interpreter.

Re: DCP Discusses Peer Review at FARMS
If they weren't so utterly egotistical, Interpreter editors would realize what a gift they have in this message board and its critiques of their arguments, scholarship, etc. Using peer review from outside sources is just intelligent. Using it from people who always and already agree with your conclusions which have been preordained, not so much.
