The name Hugh Nibley has become common coin of the Mormon realm.The household quality of the name in part depends upon the frequency with which his work appears in the Improvement Era .Since 1948 he is exceeded in regularity in the Era only by Beneficial Life.With the passing of B. H. Roberts, Nibley more than anyone else has assumed the role of defender of the Faith and the Saints.In some ways his many appearances in the pages of the Era have actually harmed his reputation in certain circles within the Church.Sometimes his work is rejected because he has become known as "Church writer" or he is discounted as merely an "apologist" for Mormonism.
