Biography
Ludlow was raised in southern Utah County and attended public schools in such communities as Benjamin, Utah, Goshen, Utah and Spanish Fork.[1] He studied at Utah State University where he served for two years as student body president. He then went on to receive an M.A. in education from Indiana University and a Ph.D. from Columbia University.[2]
In 1947, Ludlow published Latter-day Prophets Speak, a compilation of the teachings of various leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Ludlow joined BYU's faculty in 1955. He served for a time as the dean of Religious Education at BYU. In 1968, Ludlow headed the group of BYU students who were the first to go to the Holy Land under BYU auspices.[3]
By 1972, Ludlow had left BYU and had become the director of teacher support services for the Church Educational System of the LDS Church.[4] Ludlow was also one of the leading specialists in assisting Thomas S. Monson, Boyd K. Packer and Bruce R. McConkie in preparing the LDS Church editions of the Standard Works that were released from 1979 to 1981.[5] During part of the 1980s, he served as director of Correlation Review for the LDS Church.[6] Ludlow also served as a Sunday School teacher, as a branch president, as a member of a bishopric, in high councils and stake presidencies, as a regional representative of the Twelve, as president of Australia Perth Mission, and as a temple worker.[1]
Ludlow and his wife Luene had one son, Victor L. Ludlow, and eight daughters.[7] While teaching at BYU, Ludlow lived just east of campus in Provo.
On February 14, 2009 Ludlow died of causes incident to age.[1]
