The Sharon Institute Journal of Faith and Scholarship publishes disciplined academic essays and articles that explore how the light of the Restored Gospel can bear upon scholarship. While primarily focused on the social sciences and humanities, the journal welcomes faithful and rigorous work from all disciplines that brings Latter-day Saint thought into serious conversation with questions of human life, moral meaning, culture, family, society, and discipleship.
