''Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought'' is an independent quarterly journal of "Mormon thought" that addresses a wide range of issues on Mormonism and the Latter Day Saint Movement. The journal publishes peer-reviewed〔〕 academic articles that run the gamut from anthropology and sociology to theology, history, and science. The journal also publishes fiction, poetry, and graphic arts. ''Dialogue'' authors regularly include both members of the Mormon community and non-Mormon scholars interested in Mormon Studies. Douglas Davies and Jan Shipps are some of the non-Mormon academics that publish in ''Dialogue''. Examples of Mormon authors are Eugene England, Richard Bushman, Claudia Bushman, Gregory Prince, and Mary Lythgoe Bradford. == History == ''Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought'', is the oldest independent journal in Mormon Studies. ''Dialogue'' was originally the creation of a group of young Mormon scholars at Stanford University led by Eugene England, and G. Wesley Johnson. ''Dialogue's'' original offices were located at Stanford. Brent Rushforth aided in ''Dialogue's'' initiation. The first issue appeared in the spring of 1966, and during its first few years the Editorial Board and Staff came to include many notables in the subsequent history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, such as Richard Bushman, Chase Peterson, Stanford Cazier, Dallin H. Oaks, Cherry Silver, Karen Rosenbaum, and Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. ''Dialogue'' is known for publishing groundbreaking articles from respected Mormon scholars and writers such as Armand Mauss, Hugh Nibley, Lester Bush, and D. Michael Quinn. Two key sponsors and advisors from the beginning were Lowell L. Bennion, of the LDS Institute at the University of Utah, and Leonard J. Arrington, later the official historian of the LDS Church. ''Dialogue'' has nevertheless remained totally independent of church auspices over the years thanks to loyal readers and the generosity of its donors.〔 The founding and subsequent editorial boards have been composed mainly of scholars and lay writers who are participating members of the LDS Church. ''Dialogue'' has been the main venue over the years for the publication of articles on some of the most difficult and controversial issues in LDS history and doctrine, including the problems of race ethnicity (see Blacks and Mormonism), women's roles, religion and politics, the history of polygamy (see Joseph Smith, Jr. and Polygamy), Mormons and Masonry, the Book of Mormon, the career of Joseph Smith, and many other potentially difficult issues. ''Dialogue'' has constantly strived for honesty and balance in its treatment of such topics and has maintained an editorial independence that has established it as the premier scholarly journal in Mormon Studies, now emerging as a major academic field at several universities. The Mormon History Association ("MHA") was founded in 1966, and for the first 6–7 years of its existence, MHA members published their Mormon-related studies principally in ''Dialogue''. MHA then founded the "''Journal of Mormon History.'' Since then, ''Dialogue'' and ''The Journal of Mormon History,'' along with ''BYU Studies Quarterly'' have been some of the main venues for historical studies of Mormonism. Both ''BYU Studies Quarterly'' and ''Sunstone Magazine'' are periodicals that, like ''Dialogue'', contain articles that range widely across the field of Mormon Studies.〔Anderson, Devery S. “A History of Dialogue, Part One: The Early Years, 1965-1971,” ''Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought'', (32:2 (Summer 1999): 15-67. )〕〔Anderson, Devery S. “A History of Dialogue, Part Two: Struggle toward Maturity, 1971-1982,” ''Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought'', (33:2 (Sum 2000): 1-96. )〕〔Anderson, Devery S. “A History of Dialogue, Part Three: "Coming of Age" in Utah, 1982-1987," ''Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought'', ( 35: 2 (Sum 2002): 1-71. )〕〔Hansen, *Ralph W.
