Welcome, dear readers, to the Summer 2013 issue of SquareTwo! The full table of contents can be found on our archives page here.

First, we are pleased to publish a second essay by LDS political philosopher A. Don Sorensen, this time on the nature of freedom, and how freedom relates to the one true morality. Can this relationship help explain how so many spirits lost their way in the pre-mortal existence?

Second, Allison Arnold examines what early prophets wrote about the time of the Second Coming. What did they believe would be the status of nation-states and international law at that time?

Third, talk about shock and awe! BYU's Department of Ancient Scripture has made a hire so amazing that you will want to sit down before you read about it . . .

Fourth, Valerie Hudson offers commentary about the lifting of the combat exclusion for women by the U.S. Department of Defense in January 2013.

Fifth, we are excited to facilitate the announcement by the Academy of Temple Studies of a one-day conference at Utah State University on "The Lady in the Temple," with speakers including Margaret Barker. Find out details and how to register for the conference.

Sixth, we now have six comments by readers and editorial board members about our Spring 2013 Readers' Puzzle about accountability and mental illness in LDS doctrine.

And last but not least, we have a new Reader's Puzzle for Summer 2013: he's been called a traitor, a hero, a patriot, and a whistle-blower, but what do our readers think about Edward Snowden? Share your thoughts and we'll publish them!

One final note: do you dislike readings essays on your computer screen? Did you know you can convert our webpages to pdfs that you can print out on letter-sized paper? It's easy! Go to http://www.htmlpdf.com, paste in the URL of the webpage you want, pick the option for letter-sized paper, and the file will be swiftly and automatically downloaded for free to your computer! From there, you can easily print the file on your printer.
