BYU Studies is a multidisciplinary academic journal covering a broad array of topics related to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon studies). It is published by the church-owned Brigham Young University. The journal is abstracted and indexed in the ATLA Religion Database.[1]
History[edit]
Originally proposed as Wasatch Review,[2] the periodical was established as Brigham Young University Studies and was first printed in January 1959, as an issue of Brigham Young University Bulletin printed by BYU Press.[3] In April 2012 the journal was renamed BYU Studies Quarterly. In January 2023 the journal reverted to its original name, BYU Studies (dropping Quarterly). The tagline for BYU Studies is "Scholarship Aligned with the Gospel of Jesus Christ." All issues, including newly published issues, are freely available on the BYU Studies webpage. The BYU Studies logo was changed in January 2023 to align with the logo of its parent institution, Brigham Young University.
