Steven Erastus Snow (born November 23, 1949) has been a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) since 2001. He currently serves as the Church Historian and Recorder, as well as executive director of the Church History Department.
Snow was born in St. George, Utah into a Latter-day Saint family. As a young man, he served as a missionary for the LDS Church in West Germany. Prior to his call as a general authority, Snow was a bishop, stake president, and president of the church's California San Fernando Mission. In 1999, he became an area seventy in the church's Utah South Area.
Snow became a general authority and a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy in April 2001. He began service as a member of the seven-man Presidency of the Seventy on August 1, 2007. In that capacity, Snow was responsible for overseeing the work of the church in the North America Central Area and later the three areas in Utah.
On January 10, 2012, Snow's future assignment, to replace Marlin K. Jensen, as Church Historian and Recorder was announced. To effect a smooth transition, Snow was released from the Presidency of the Seventy on January 20, 2012, in order to begin working immediately with Jensen. Snow replaced Jensen in August 2012 and Jensen was designated an emeritus general authority in October 2012.
