The Brigham Young University publishing center for media centered on the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Constructive, respectful dialogue is welcome.
The Religious Studies Center is a vital research and publication arm of Religious Education. It exists to seek out, encourage, and publish faithful gospel scholarship through sponsoring symposia and seminars; awarding research grants; and producing and disseminating high quality, peer-reviewed works. These include monographs, journals, compilations, and other publications in print and electronic formats pertaining to the content and context of Latter-day Saint scripture, the doctrines and history of the Restoration, and the restored Church including its relationship to other cultures, religions, and the behavioral sciences. The RSC also seeks to further improve gospel instruction by publishing pedagogically related books and articles. Rudeness, misinformation, self-promotion, and abuse are not. We reserve the right, without warning or notification, to remove comments and block users we determine violate this policy.
Welcome to the Religious Studies Center at Brigham Young University.
Since 1975, the Religious Studies Center has been publishing scholarship founded on to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of these books and publications are available to read for free at the library, and also can be read online at RSC.byu.edu.
