Kerry isn't on their team any more, so he was supposedly always less than or suspect now.

I figured a scholarly paper on the same subject as that day's blog article would not only serve to heal the rift between Dr. Peterson and Kerry, it would make the Interpreter look good to have a paper that could be quoted elsewhere.

Kerry deserves some much due recognition.

The Interpreter has always been at war with Kerry.

Perhaps I don't know the history with Interpreter and Kerry? I thought he participated with them for a while until he saw the light.

Are you saying that when Kerry was consorting with the Interpreter crowd, he was their enemy nonetheless?

Kerry's work on tree symbolism is a helluva lot better than Dr. Easton-Black poorly executed review of Park's book on Nauvoo. So, I don't think much of this excuse that what Kerry does is somehow not up to Interpreter's high standards. I also recall that interminable piece on Enoch that Interpreter published. It was written by some non-LDS Ph.D.. Now, it was interesting, but it was also very odd and convoluted. I don't see how Kerry's work would be less appropriate for Interpreter than that.
Very well said, Reverend. I have been a huge Kerry fan dating clear back to his FAIR Conference videos. Those were epic, and I cannot tell you the sheer pleasure I got from the opportunity to review them. That level of enthusiasm and passion is infectious. He really won me over in that regard. I am even willing to go so far as to say that those videos were Huell Howser-esque.

You can say that again. Kerry's videos put a human-like face on the FAIR Conference, plus it provided a very rare backside cameo of Louis Midgley with his quills retracted.

Interesting thread all. I can't possibly imagine why I would even want to publish with such a place as Interpreter, but the idea of publishing that paper is fun. I am sure there are far more credible sources to go with than brainwashed, phony peer reviewed Mormon journals....

Yes ... I agree in spades!

It's not hard to like LDS folk as highlighted through Kerry's videos, and in general!

What IS unlikeable is when LDS apologists start "having fun" with people they've identified as opponents. Then, any sense of true warmth, humility, grace and genuine "fun" go out the window because people are meant to be ridiculed and put in their place (i.e. demeaned).

So often, through the years, I've seen the apologists characterize themselves as "having fun" when they're in defensive and/or aggressive apologist mode. This may be offered as proof that Mormons don't need to be staid or boring, perhaps little realizing they don't need to be derisive either. The humour that they use as a shield is not a thing of beauty or joy, but smacks so much more of "in-jokes" within their own mutual-appreciation club.
