Description

Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii features Elder Reed C. Durham, a distinguished educator and scholar with more than four decades of service in the Church Educational System, who was serving as a teaching missionary at BYU–Hawaii at the time of the interview. Elder Durham reflects on his 43‑year teaching career spanning seminaries, institutes, university classrooms, and international study programs, including his role in founding BYU’s Semester at Nauvoo program and his extensive teaching and travel experiences in the Holy Land, Europe, and the Mediterranean world. He discusses his academic background in theology and biblical studies, authorship of influential books and manuals—including work on Joseph Smith’s Bible translation and church succession—and his philosophy of teaching rooted in faith, scholarship, and student engagement. The conversation highlights the unique spiritual and cultural richness of BYU–Hawaii’s diverse student body and Elder Durham’s enduring commitment to teaching, learning, and service well into retirement.
