Other lecturers in the collection include Richard L. Bushman ("Making Space for the Mormons"); Richard E. Bennett ("My Idea Is to Go Right Through Right Side Up With Care: The Exodus as Reformation"); Howard R. Lamar ("The Theater in Mormon Life and Culture"); Claudia L. Bushman ("Mormon Domestic Life in the 1870s").

Kenneth Godfrey ("The Importance of the Temple in Understanding the Latter-day Saint Nauvoo Experience Then and Now"); Jan Shipps ("Signifying Sainthood"); Donald Worster ("Encountering Mormon Country"); Laurel Thatcher Ulrich ("Rachel's Death: How Memory Challenges History"); and Ross Peterson ("I Didn't Want to Leave the House, but He Compelled Me To: A Personal Examination of a Mormon Family").
