  • The True Tales of Polygamy Fiction

    John G TurnerARTICLEDialogue A Journal of Mormon…2024

    A woman unhappily married to a polygamist. A girl trapped in Utah, separated from her father, likely soon to be sealed to a hoary elder. A gentile-accompanied flight to safety.Albert G. Browne Jr.’s “The Ward of the Three Guardians,” published in 1877 in the Atlantic Monthly, possesses many of the stock elements of a good late-nineteenth-century story about Utah and the Mormons. Browne, though, based his “lightly fictionalized” (p. 28) tale on ac…

  • Joseph Smith

    John G TurnerARTICLEMormon Studies Review2023

    “by what authority doest thou these things?” Jerusalem's religious leaders ask Jesus. “And who gave thee this authority to do these things?” What are this man's credentials? Who has authorized him to teach and preach, heal on the Sabbath, cast out money-changers from the temple, curse fig trees, and forgive sins? Jesus answers their question with a question of his own. “The baptism of John,” he asks, “was it from heaven, or of men?” They are afra…

    Open AccessJohn G Turner, James Grantham TurnerARTICLERenaissance Studies2023

    ‘Petrus Arretinus vir acerrimi iudicii’ – Pietro Aretino, a man of most acute mind – went down in history as an intimate of Agostino Chigi (1466–1520), the great banker and patron of the arts. In his letters and drama, Aretino frequently evokes the golden years he spent as a protégé and household member. He recalls his brief but formative residence at Chigi's Villa Farnesina (ca. 1516–1520) as a time of freedom and creativity, when allegedly he g…

Stephen Butler Murray, the four presenters—Carla Gardina Pestana, David Silverman, John G. Turner, and Francis Bremer—agreed to have the QUARTERLY publish revised versions of their talks with Kenneth P. Minkema as…

  • Church in the Wild

    Open AccessJohn G TurnerARTICLEJournal of Church and State2020

    In 1739, the renowned eighteenth-century missionary David Brainerd retired to a “dark, thick grove” to mourn his sins and to beg God for forgiveness. Muted by his melancholy, he could not utter any words. He then walked through the woods until he apprehended God in a way he never had before. Brainerd wrote that it was as if God had transported him to a new world. If Americans today think of mystics in the woods, they might think of Henry David Th…

  • American Universities and the Birth of Modern Mormonism, 1867–1940

    John G Turner, John TurnerARTICLEJournal of American History2017

    Most historians who have studied the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints identify the coerced abandonment of polygamy in 1890 and the attainment of Utah statehood in 1896 as the watershed moments that brought about a patriotic, capitalist, and monogamous Mormonism. In American Universities and the Birth of Modern Mormonism, by contrast, Thomas W. Simpson argues “that modern Mormonism was born in the American university, and the Mormon pat…

  • Bill Bright and Campus Crusade for Christ

    Charles A Israel, John G TurnerARTICLEJournal of American History2009

    John G. Turner's intelligently contextualized biography includes a posed photograph from circa 1950 showing a suit-wearing Billy Graham towering a full head above the more casually attired Bill Bright. While it seems unusual to spy Bright without his customary coat and tie, the image seems an appropriate representation. Though Bright most often worked in the shadows of Graham and better-known figures such as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Jame…
