About the journal
Our Purpose
|
|
|
In order to accomplish our mission, we have a few key objectives. Publications are selected from highly qualified authors who share the same goals and objectives as we do. Our editors and staff are experienced, educated, and trained in their respective positions.
As an outlet for BYU Studies literature, we accept mail, phone, and web orders for a variety of products. The BYU Studies journal is our most prominant publication. We provide subscriptions which allow each publication to be mailed to your door. The journal is complimented by a strong collection of relevant books and dissertations about subjects requiring more discussion and content than our journal has room to provide. Most of our books are also endorsed by the BYU Press. Recently, a collection of selected archives of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been produced on a set of DVD's. These DVD's provide an important resource for researchers and collectors. In addition to these great resources, we also provide comprehensive databases of article references by author, subject, title, and category to help you in any manner they can. Each reference will provide a link if its corrosponding article is available in download, reprint, or journal form.

Instructions to Authors
BYU Studies' Author Guidelines
BYU Studies is dedicated to the correlation of revealed and discovered truth and to the conviction that the spiritual and the intellectual can be complementary and fundamentally harmonious avenues of knowledge. This periodical strives to explore scholarly perspectives on Latter-day Saint topics. It is committed to seeking truth "by study and also by faith" (D&C 88:118) and recognizes that all knowledge without charity is nothing (1 Cor. 13:2). It proceeds on the premise that faith and reason, revelation and scholarly learning, obedience and creativity are compatible; they are "many members, yet but one body" (1 Cor. 12:20).
Contributions from all fields of learning are invited. BYU Studies strives to publish articles that openly reflect a Latter-day Saint point of view and are obviously relevant to subjects of general interest to Latter-day Saints, while conforming to high scholarly standards. BYU Studies seeks articles that document or analyze, in a scholarly manner, topics related to LDS history, culture, society, art, language, literature, science, thought, or experience. Short studies and research involving significant historical documents are also welcomed. |

Roger Terry Senior Associate Editor
Roger joined the BYU Studies team in June 2006 after serving seven years as a senior editor at the Ensign and the Liahona. Prior to that he was, as his wife likes to put it, self-unemployed (running his own business, the funcompany, but not making much money). In a former life, he taught for nine years at BYU's Marriott School of Management and edited the school's alumni magazine. Roger earned a BA in German and an MBA, both from BYU. He likes to write books in his dwindling spare time. Four have been published¡ªtwo fiction, two nonfiction. The rest are waiting to be discovered. He is married to Sheri Peterson, and they have four children, two currently studying at BYU. Roger enjoys playing basketball (at an ever-slower pace), reading everything from cosmology to economics, watching way too many athletic events, teaching, playing piano and guitar, writing letters to the editor, eating chocolate, and watching his kids do yard work.
James Summerhays¡ªAdministrative Editor
Before his position at BYU Studies, James Summerhays was New Media Editor at Deseret Book and most recently an Administrator in the Continuing Education Department at BYU. Having been involved in the publishing world in some capacity since the time he was sixteen, he has always been fascinated with different mediums of communicating ideas. Communication, whether it be in art, music, or the written word has always been my passion. The challenge of expressing a lofty idea with clarity and persuasion has always intrigued me. I never tire of it. If there were a way to perfectly capture the true essence of the Restoration through a symphony, or if there were a way that the clever turn of a phrase could powerfully capture the reality of some exalted principle, then I am interested in that way. James has published numerous articles and has recently produced the documentary Witness the Restoration: The Smith Family Artifacts and Their Story. James and his wife Mary have five children, and he enjoys golf, composition, art, basketball (at least back when he could jump), and reading till all hours of the night.
