This is intended to be a comprehensive collection of all of Neal Ash Maxwell’s published works, as well as related documents from various authors. The bibliography to The Collected Works of Neal A. Maxwell was invaluable in its preparation, as was the bibliography to A Disciple’s Life (which I have yet to completely incorporate). However, these have not proven to be complete, and thus I have embarked on creating a complete list of Brother Maxwell’s works.

I won’t try to tell the story of Elder Maxwell here–others have done that far better. I recommend the entry at Grampa Bill’s G.A. Pages and Bruce C. Hafen’s biography of Elder Maxwell, A Disciple’s Life. The Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship has also made a brief biography available.

At this time, I will list the more accessible works (the works of which I have copies—articles, talks, etc.), and move on to the more obscure pieces (such as introductions, scholarly articles from his early career at the University of Utah, etc.) as time permits. If you know of any works I have omitted from this compendium or if you find any mistakes here, please contact me at left with further details. I’ll appreciate it.

Articles in The New Era

“There are many reasons why I ask this, but I imagine mostly because my roommates find the subject, in their words, “charming” and “intriguing.” The question: Do we still believe in the Second Coming?”

1971 February Questions and Answers

“In considering the social issues and pressures facing individuals in the Church, what does the Church perceive as its role as an institution in alleviating social ills? By not acting as an institution directly, doesn’t the Church put itself in the position of supporting the existence of these social ills in society?”

Statement from the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 22 July 2004.

We greatly sorrow over the passing of our beloved associate and friend, Elder Neal Ash Maxwell of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. His life has been most extraordinary. He has excelled in the very many endeavors in which he has been engaged and particularly in his devoted service since his call to the Apostleship in 1981.

His incisive mind, his tremendous teaching abilities and his remarkable leadership have greatly assisted in moving forward the work of the Church in all the world.

Our hearts reach out to his beloved companion, Colleen, and other family members. We pray the Lord will comfort and sustain them at this difficult time.
