George Eugene England, Jr.
(22 July 1933 – 17 August 2001), usually credited as Eugene England, was a Mormon writer, teacher, and scholar.
He founded Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, the oldest independent journal in Mormon Studies, with G.
Wesley Johnson, Paul G.
Salisbury, Joseph H.
Jeppson, and Frances Menlove in 1966, and cofounded the Association for Mormon Letters in 1976.
He is also widely known in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) for his many essays about Mormon culture and thought.
From 1977–1998, England taught Mormon Literature at Brigham Young University.
England described the ideal modern Mormon scholar as "critical and innovative as his gifts from God require but conscious of and loyal to his own unique heritage and nurturing community and thus able to exercise those gifts without harm to others or himself."
