BYU Studies is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Brigham Young University, which is sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).[1][2] The journal covers multiple topics within Mormon studies, such as history, culture, sociology, and theology, from an LDS perspective. The journal is abstracted and indexed in the ATLA Religion Database.[3]
