Utah State University Inn
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 13, 2025

The Book of Mormon Studies Association (BoMSA) is pleased to announce its ninth annual meeting, to be held on October 10-11, 2025, at Utah State University. The event is sponsored by USU’s Department of Religious Studies and with thanks to Patrick Mason, the Leonard J. Arrington Chair of Mormon History and Culture.
This annual event gathers a variety of scholars invested in serious academic study of the Book of Mormon. It has no particular theme but instead invites papers on any subject related to the Book of Mormon from any viable academic angle. This year’s two keynote addresses will be delivered by Matthew Bowman (Claremont Graduate University) and Jillian Sayre (Rutgers University-Camden). We also will feature two special panels: one celebrating the completion of Royal Skousen’s massive critical text project and the other on Book of Mormon Art. As we have for the past several years, we will hold a pre- conference exhibit at the Church History Library on Thursday afternoon. This event will feature documents related to the development and publication of Orson Pratt’s 1879 edition of the Book of Mormon.
