Spring 2010 Issue of SquareTwo

Included in the latest issue of SquareTwo

  • Discussion of the controversial issue of public civility in political discourse. While our General Authorities have laid down clear guidelines regarding the maintenance of that civility, radio talk show hosts who are very popular with LDS audiences flout those guidelines daily. What's a good LDS fan of Glenn Beck to do?
  • An investigation of LDS doctrine concerning polygamy. Noting the recent controversies over the FLDS, as well as continuing drama in Canada, Cassler asserts that it is time to understand what LDS doctrine concerning polygamy is--and is not.
  • Book review: Encouraging Heterosexuality: Helping Children Develop a Traditional Sexual Orientation, by Douglas A. Abbott and A. Dean Byrd. Can parents orient their children towards heterosexuality?  And if so, how would they go about doing this?
