We got to welcome Dr. Benjamin Park, author of American Zion, onto our show!  We greatly enjoyed having him on, and got to talk about being an historian, what it’s like to get access to the oldest of church records, what makes American Zion different from other histories and his perspective on researching the early and modern LDS church.  Thanks Ben!  You can find Dr. Park on YouTube, Instagram, FaceBook, and Tik Tok as @benjaminparkhistorian.

In the 1970s, Leonard Arrington formed an enclave of church scholars and historians that had such an open attitude of research and discovery that they called it Camelot.  By the early 90s, attitudes had shifted greatly against these “so-called” intellectuals, and not just them but also  feminists and LGBTQ groups.  The road from Camelot had many twists and turns.  Join us as we read the next chapter of American Zion, “Fault Lines, 1970-1995.”
