== Mormon studies ==
Gee is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which believes Joseph Smith divinely translated the Book of Abraham from Egyptian papyrus in the 19th century.{{sfn|Gertoux|2016|pp=94}} Because of his expertise in Near Eastern studies and Egyptology, Gee is highly visible in the debate over the authenticity of the Book of Abraham. His interest in these issues led to his involvement with the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (FARMS) at BYU since the late 1980s.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Gee, John|title=New Light on the Joseph Smith Papyri|journal=FARMS Review|volume=19|issue=2|year=2007|pages=245–260|doi=10.5406/farmsreview.19.2.0245 |url=http://farms.byu.edu/publications/review/?vol=19&num=2&id=670|access-date=2009-04-09|url-access=subscription}}</ref> He has also presented on the Joseph Smith Papyri to the Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR).<ref>{{cite web|title=FAIR Conference Speakers|year=2007|publisher=Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research|url=http://www.fairlds.org/conf07b.html|access-date=2009-04-09}}</ref>
In 2010 Gee made a presentation with Louis C. Midgley at the BYU Mormon Media Studies Symposium reporting on their study into the effect of the tendency of Evangelical Christians to attack the right of other groups to call themselves Christians and how this affected Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.<ref>''Deseret News''. Nov. 14, 2010</ref>
== Criticism of scholarship ==
One of Gee's former Yale professors, Robert K. Ritner, later publicly criticized some of Gee's interpretations of the Joseph Smith Papyri as well as his failure to share drafts of his work with Ritner, as his other students have.<ref>In an article highly critical of Joseph Smith's interpretation of Egyptian writing, Ritner wrote, "With regard to the articles by my former student John Gee, I am constrained to note that unlike the… practice of all my other Egyptology students, Gee never chose to share drafts of his publications with me to elicit scholarly criticism, so that I have encountered these only recently. It must be understood that in these apologetic writings, Gee’s opinions do not necessarily reflect my own, nor the standards of Egyptological proof that I required at Yale or Chicago."{{cite journal|author=Ritner, Robert K.|title=The 'Breathing Permit of Hôr': Thirty-four Years Later|journal=Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought|date=Winter 2000|volume=33|issue=4|pages=97–119|doi=10.2307/45226742|jstor=45226742|url=http://content.lib.utah.edu/u?/dialogue,8622|access-date=2009-04-06|url-access=subscription}}Republished with revised introduction in {{cite journal|author=Ritner, Robert K.|title='The Breathing Permit of Hôr' Among The Joseph Smith Papyri|journal=Journal of Near Eastern Studies|date=July 2003|volume=62|issue=3|pages=161–180|doi=10.1086/380315|s2cid=162323232}}See also this BYU review of Ritner's critique in {{cite journal|author=Morris, Larry E.|title=The Book of Abraham: Ask the Right Questions and Keep On Looking|journal=FARMS Review|volume=16|issue=2|pages=355–80|year=2004|doi=10.5406/farmsreview.16.2.0355|url=http://www.farmsresearch.com/publications/review/?vol=16&num=2&id=561|access-date=2009-04-08|url-access=subscription}}{{Dead link|date=November 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{Citation|url=http://oi.uchicago.edu/sites/oi.uchicago.edu/files/uploads/shared/docs/Research_Archives/Translation%20and%20Historicity%20of%20the%20Book%20of%20Abraham%20final-2.pdf|title=A Response to "Translation and Historicity of the Book of Abraham"|first=Robert K.|last=Ritner|authorlink=Robert K.

One of Gee's former co-authors, fellow professors at BYU, and editor of the Joseph Smith Papers project, Brian Hauglid, is also critical of Gee's interpretations of the Joseph Smith Papyri. In 2018, Hauglid wrote, "I no longer agree with Gee or Mulhestein. I find their apologetic "scholarship" on the BoA abhorrent."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://proveallthingsholdfasttogood.wordpress.com/book-of-abraham-apologist-brian-hauglids-transformative-journey/|title = Book of Abraham Apologist: Brian Hauglid's "Transformative Journey"|date = 19 December 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url-access=limited |archive-url = https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/100003678489040/1398006876998582 |archive-date = 2022-04-27| url = https://www.facebook.com/dan.vogel.35/posts/1398006876998582?hc_location=ufi |title = Dan Vogel on Facebook |website=Facebook}}{{cbignore}}{{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}</ref>
== ''Saving Faith'' controversy ==
Gee's 2020 book ''Saving Faith: How Families Protect, Sustain, and Encourage Faith'' caused immediate controversy with its suggestion that sexual abuse might be a possible factor in homosexual attraction. Multiple reviewers noted that this and other claims were outside Gee's realm of expertise and asserted that he misinterpreted data to arrive at his conclusions.<ref name="amlreview">"[http://associationmormonletters.org/blog/reviews/current-reviews/gee-saving-faith-reviewed-by-chad-curtis/?fbclid=IwAR04fbJBTlxzd8qhxbz0AxNZ-PLR5xFXd1Tdyu_ivfQRzJgqDjwjQYVC-Ik Gee, Saving Faith (Reviewed by Chad Curtis)]" by Chad Curtis.
