My Annotated Book of Mormon will also be published in 2023 by Oxford University Press. It probably didn’t make it into the list because it is being handled not as a regular Oxford academic work on religion, but by OUP’s specialized Bible Division, which has produced titles such as the New Oxford Annotated Bible, the Jewish Study Bible, and the Catholic Study Bible. My new edition of the Book of Mormon will be very much in line with those publications.

Does Joey know anyone that works at the Maxwell Institute, Gary! 😂

So we have RSC doing a volume of BY diaries (which Signature has done) and Signature doing a volume of Martineau’s diaries (which RSC has done)? There is a lot to look forward to across the board here.

apologies, Michael! Name and link have been updated.
Gary: the MI can only confidently name one book this year, though there may be another.
Comment by J Stuart — December 5, 2022 @ 8:24 pm
“apologies, Michael! Name and link have been updated.”
No worries. But, just so you know, if I ever do need to distinguish between myself and another Michael Austin, I will use the full name: Michael Fielding Austin 😉

I know I’m coming to this late, but this is a great list–thanks! One that it looks like you’re missing is “Mormon Art from the Beginning to the Present,” from Oxford UP and edited by Amanda Beardsley and Mason Allred, tentatively coming in June. It’s going to have tremendous essays on essentially every branch of visual art that you can think of (really only dance, drama, and literature are omitted), with a lot of coverage of international art, women artists, Native American art, and other areas that have been insufficiently studied so far.
