From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Employment

Article reads like it was put together by Morman apologists. Is this shiela employed by some academic outfit or just an amateur? Albatross2147 (talk) 21:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Did you bother to read the article? See: Shipps has a PhD in history. She taught at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis for many years and is now professor emeritus of history and religious studies. A respected -- but a non-Mormon/an active Methodist -- scholar specializing in Mormon and religious history. She has been a relatively objective observer of Mormon history, theology, and culture for many years, with many books to her credit. WBardwin (talk) 04:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
