The Religious Educator serves the needs and interests of those who study and teach the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. The distinct focuses of the journal are on pedagogical studies related to teaching religion; studies on scripture, doctrine, and history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and Latter-day Saint pioneers across the globe. The journal also publishes interviews that touch upon difficult topics, timely topics, and key figures in Religious Education. The beliefs of the respective authors do not necessarily reflect the views of the Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University, or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
