Rosalynde Welch is a research fellow and associate director at the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship.  She holds a PhD in early modern English literature from the University of California, San Diego, and a BA in English from Brigham Young University. She and her family lived in St Louis, Missouri, for 18 years, during which time Rosalynde raised her children and worked as a blogger and independent scholar focused on Latter-day Saint scripture, theology, and literature. In 2020, she published her first book with the Maxwell Institute, Ether: a brief theological introduction.In 2022, she accepted a job at BYU's Maxwell Institute and moved her family across the country to Provo. In her administrative role at the Institute, she coordinates faculty engagement, hosts the Maxwell Institute podcast, and edited the 2024 seven-volume series Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants. In her personal research, she writes and speaks widely on the Book of Mormon and Latter-day Saint theology. She and co-author Adam Miller have written three (almost four) books on scripture, including Seven Gospels: The Many Lives of Christ in the Book of Mormon and, more recently, Seven Visions: Images of Christ in the Doctrine and Covenants. Rosalynde and her husband have four nearly-grown children spread out across the country, and they love exploring Utah's wild places together.

Some details concerning Rosalynde's presentation:Title: Seven Visions of Christ in the Doctrine and CovenantsAbstract:One way to understand the Doctrine and Covenants is Joseph Smith's quest to see the face of Christ and to share that vision with his people. Seven pivotal revelations show us how Joseph achieved that vision, what he came to know of the Savior, and how we too can learn to see and know Christ. For Joseph, deep and collaborative study of the scriptures was the portal to visionary experience. Learning how and why to approach scripture like Joseph did can reinvigorate our own study and show us Christ in new ways.
