In this interview, I asked Jonathan to respond to some of his critics, particularly his LDS critics who published articles in the Interpreter earlier this year. Jonathan welcomes criticism because he advocates consideration of "multiple working hypotheses" based on established facts. But he objects to "gatekeeping" intellectuals that ban or censor interpretations they don't agree with--especially when they ban alternative faithful interpretations. He hopes the exchange in the Interpreter will lead to a more inclusive approach on the part of the Interpreter editors, as well as the gatekeepers at FAIRLDS and Book of Mormon Central. During the interview, Jonathan explains that his LDS critics don't seem to realize he is not writing only for LDS audiences so he uses citations to a variety of sources, so long as they are factual. And he looks forward to ongoing conversations with Mormon Book Reviews, the "Switzerland" of the Restoration.
