"The conflict surrounding literary studies, as seen through JBMS during the 1990s, is a jumbled knot of theories, inherited prejudices, occasional ties to the biblical, and plenty of baggage. Scholars and readers took a multiplicity of stances-- in favor, against, and in between-- all of which had implications for the emerging shape of the field in the twenty-first century. In this article, I will not attempt to straighten out definitively what was tangled thirty years ago and what, unfortunately, remains knotted. Instead, I have here a more modest aim. First, I will consider a brief but intense period of theoretical debate about the stakes and status of literary approaches to Book of Mormon, undertaken within the Journal of Book of Mormon Studies between 1993 and 1996. Second, I will offer my own more theoretical reflection on what might be learned from this past debate." [Author]
