Good for you.
You don’t have subscription information.
You guys rocks.
Credit goes to David Morris.
Totally brill, mate. Mazel tov!
Would BJMS be interested in a duel over divine anthropology? If so, I may just challenge Stapley to a print encounter.
Sweet.
Must one read the journal with a disarmingly handsome British accent in order to fully appreciate it’s contents?
I’d pay money for the Stapley/smb divine anthropology smackdown. What’s the Mormon Studies equivalent of live on pay-per-view?
sol,
Read Kim’s article with a Finnish accent and you’ll be fine.
Well done. I pray that your submission box runneth over with good manuscripts!
Thanks for publicising the journal Ronan – o answer a couple of the questions:
2. Subscription at this stage will be an open access policy in order that more people might gain access to these articles. There is a limited print run which will be extended as the journal picks up speed.
3. Thank You.
4. As they say behind a good British scholar…..is another good British scholar :)
6. Only if we walk ten paces and shoot
8. Oh Yes!
10. You do need the Finnish accent and standing on one foot to appreciate it —
11. Very kind Nate —- we look forward to receiving articles of an international nature….of course the U.S. is international…
Thanks for all of your comments — You can always count on the three musketeers of European scholarship, Ronan, Kim and me.
David,
I prefer three stooges. At least EMSA features Douglas Davies and Wouter van Beek to make us look good…
David, why don’t you tell us about yourself?
Also, what would we do to get a copy from the limited print run (or is shipping like $50)?
Congratulations! I just now read over the Mauss piece, and enjoyed it very much. Actually, I’d like someone to talk about lowering the costs of membership right here in the good ol’ US of A…
Congratulations!!
>>David, why don’t you tell us about yourself?
Seriously, you do not want to ask!
14. I shall certainly introduce myself shortly but until then we have found the best way to distribute printed copies at near cost price is through
