Description

Hosted by Zane Clark, this episode of Focus Hawaii features historian Grant Underwood, who discusses his work with the Joseph Fielding Smith Institute and his role in the Mormon Pacific Historical Society during its 20th‑anniversary celebration. Underwood shares insights about compiling and editing Voyages of Faith, a collection preserving two decades of scholarly presentations on Latter‑day Saint history in the Pacific. He explains the contributions of foundational figures like Leonard Arrington and Lance Chase, highlights compelling historical narratives—including early missionary experiences, cultural encounters, Hawaiian Saints’ stories, hula lineage, temple history, and reconciled community divisions—and reflects on how editing the volume brought overlooked archival materials, oral histories, and academic research together.
