From Brigham Young University's Maxwell Institute, this is the Maxwell Institute,

Faith, Illuminating, Scholarship. I'm Rosalind Welch, host of the podcast. Thanks for joining us today

on the questions we should be asking,

the podcast where we explore the questions that make faith come alive. In this episode, we continue

our streak of interviews with the authors of our new book series, Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants.

And today we've got a fascinating conversation with Dr. Mason Allred about his volume

Seeing.

First, though, I wanted to let you know about a new publication out from the Maxwell Institute

this spring by Chad Ford titled 70 times seven, Jesus' path to conflict transformation.

Chad is a professional mediator and peace educator, and he's had years of experience as a hands-on

facilitator, resolving destructive conflict.

In 70 by 7, he looks at this work of peace building in the light of the gospel.

How do we take seriously the Savior's call to love your enemies and President Nelson's invitation to be peacemakers without sacrificing our integrity?

Chad shows us that it's a matter of following Jesus himself.

I especially appreciated the wealth of real examples and suggestions

for getting started, at home, in my ward, or in my workplace, though there are no conflicts

at my workplace. Look for more information on our website, my.m.b.w.edu. Click on the books tab,

then scroll down to Living Faith. While you're there, check out all the books in our Living Faith series.

Each one was written by a Latter-day St. Scholar

who brings their study and faith to bear on some part of the disciples' life.

Pick one that catches your interest and check it out.

You can't go wrong.
