Maxwell Institute Podcast

In this engaging conversation, Justin Collings, academic vice president of BYU and a distinguished scholar, explores his new book, Divine Law. He discusses how divine law is intertwined with love and grace, reshaping the understanding of commandments as uplifting rather than burdensome. Collings dives into the eternal role of Christ, emphasizing mercy, and shares transformative insights on family life through spiritual blessings. He also highlights the significant impact of poetry in conveying spiritual truths and enhancing one's relationship with divine law.

Terryl Givens, a prolific author and expert on Latter-day Saint thought, joins to explore the profound concept of agency in the Doctrine and Covenants. He delves into the nature of free will and its relational aspects, making compelling arguments about how our choices impact community and personal identity. The conversation navigates traditional versus Latter-day Saint views, emphasizing love and mutual influence. Givens also challenges conventional notions of worthiness and justice, ultimately rethinking how we understand grace and forgiveness in our spiritual lives.
