KeithLBrown Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Truman Madsen, well known LDS scholar and educator, died this morning (Thursday, 28 May 2009) after a long battle with cancer. Madsen, a grandson of Heber J. Grant, was born in 1926 in Salt Lake City. He developed an interest in his Church heritage at a young age and would eventually become a recognized expert on Joseph Smith and one of the most popular lecturers among Church members on LDS topics. After serving a mission in Canada and studying at the University of Utah and the University of Southern California, Madsen received his Master of art and PhD in history and philosophy of religion from Harvard University. Part of his legacy includes his work with leaders of other religions to better understand Mormonism. You can read more about the passing of Truman G. Madsen by going to: Truman G.
