<<The ads have appeared on a Times Square billboard, around London, and in The Book of Mormon playbills for touring companies, featuring the taglines, “You’ve seen the play… now read the book,” and “The book is always better.”>> I have a daughter who lives right outside NYC, and she called laughing the first time she saw the ads in Times Square. At one time she thought she'd go see the play but hasn't mentioned it since. The cost of theater tickets now may be discouraging her. I read the entire article and was intrigued by the treatment of the Mormon Church as 'adaptive and evolutionary'. Not that it isn't, just had never seen that approach taken by a quarterly magazine that focuses on science. While the article was not a hit job, for a scholarly journal, it was somewhat lax on getting the facts right. For example, the name of the church itself, lol. Only called the proper name once. The rest of the time, it was referred to as the Church of Latter-Day Saints. This was most likely an effort to shorten the long name, but it wouldn't have taken any researcher more than light reading to determine that the short version is always 'the LDS church". Oh well.:)....and thanks for bringing it to my attention as it was interesting to me and mentioned a particular book I wrote down to perhaps buy.
