Of course, as the search page to which Rob links suggests, this is something of an obsession with me… so you’ll find strains of it in just about everything I write…

I think we first talked about thison the wiki. Another scripture that contributed to the early thinking on this was D&C 128, but Joe (especially) and others have continued to talk and develop these ideas here on the blog.

In one of your seminary lessons you talked about this “priesthood of writing” that you mention here, specifically in light of a particular scriptural passage, but I can’t remember which passage (unfortunately, I’m usually out-and-about when I listen to these lessons so I can’t take notes or annotate for future reference like I would if I were reading…). Do you happen to remember the passage? Can you cite some specific passages regarding this “priesthood of writing,” or should I just start working through your brief bibliography? ;)
