Biography

Mormon Richard Holzapfel
Richard Neitzel Holzapfel was born in Blackfoot Idaho, and moved regularly as a child, due to his father's naval career. In addition to his native town, his family resided in Southern California, Maine, and Hawaii. He attended Castle Park High School (Chula Vista, California) and graduated from York High School (York, Maine) in 1972. Richard served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for two years in Italy and Switzerland.

Dr. Holzapfel attended Brigham Young University, Hebrew Union College, and the University of California, Irvine, receiving his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. respectively, with an emphasis in each of the following areas: Middle Eastern Studies, Jewish History, Ancient History, American History, and Nineteenth Century American Religious History. BYU Religious Education Dept.

Richard met Jeni Broberg at Brigham Young University, and they were married in 1978. A year later their first child, was born. At that time, Holzapfel moved his young family to Irvine, California, to pursue his doctorate at the University California Irvine, where he simultaneously worked for the Church Educational System (CES). His first book, Old Mormon Nauvoo 1839 -1846 was released in 1990. Wikipedia.org

Holzapfel came to Brigham Young University as an assistant professor in 1993, teaching in the Church History, Ancient Scripture, and History departments. His courses then included the Honors sections of the Doctrine and Covenants and New Testament. He taught at the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center from 1997 through 1998. He is a world traveler, often lecturing around the country and abroad. Wikipedia.org

Holzapfel served as the publications director of the "Religious Educator," a quarterly journal publication of the Religious Studies Center at BYU. In addition to teaching and filling various committee assignments at the university, he continues a heavy research, writing, and publication agenda. He has written over 32 books and countless articles. BYU Religious Education Dept.

Richard and Jeni currently reside in Springville, Utah. They have five adult children, Nathan, Zachary, Zanna, Marin, and Bailey. BYU Religious Education Dept.

Christ.org

Dr. Holzapfel was the managing director of the Religious Studies Center at BYU and the editor in chief of the center’s periodical The Religious Educator. He also served as an editorial board member for BYU Studies.

He received the Continuing Education Faculty Teaching Award in 2006 and the Honors Professor of the Year in 2008.

Updates

In 2010 he took a three-year hiatus from his career to serve as mission president in the Alabama Birmingham Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ. He retired from BYU in 2018. Also in 2018 he was called to serve as an Area Seventy. He is a senior manager in the Missionary Department of the Church.

Dr. Holzapfel is prolific and brilliant, but even more outstanding than his breadth of knowledge of Christ, is his ability to bear witness of Him and to exemplify His life in his own daily ministry and stewardship.
