The Nahom Maps, James Gee
The Nahom Maps, James Gee
Journal of Book of Mormon Studies
Several maps from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries support details of Lehi’s journey as recorded in the Book of Mormon. In 1751, the renowned cartographer Jean Baptiste Bourguignon D’Anville became the first to include Nahom (or Nehem), Ishmael’s burial place in the Book of Mormon, in his map of Asia. This map and a 1771 map of Yemen are the basis for most accurate maps of Arabia from 1751 to 1814. The spelling varies among the subsequent maps, with most using either D’Anville’s Nehem or Niebuhr’s Nehhm, but the location of Nahom does not differ between those maps that include …

The Vision Of Enoch: Structure Of A Masterpiece, Terrence L. Szink
The Vision Of Enoch: Structure Of A Masterpiece, Terrence L. Szink
Journal of Book of Mormon Studies
The seventh chapter of the Book of Moses portrays Enoch’s vision of the history and future of the world within a specific literary framework. The text, coming from the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, outlines three periods of time: (1) the days of Noah, (2) the meridian of time, and (3) the last days. The portrayal of each of these time periods contains five similar characteristics. Szink also compares this text with accounts in the Bible and other nonbiblical sources to further understand the vision and the significance of its framework. By presenting the three periods in a literary …
“I Will Contend With Them That Contendeth With Thee”: The Divine Warrior In Jacob’S Speech Of 2 Nephi 6–10, Daniel Belnap
“I Will Contend With Them That Contendeth With Thee”: The Divine Warrior In Jacob’S Speech Of 2 Nephi 6–10, Daniel Belnap
Journal of Book of Mormon Studies
At the time Jacob gave his speech in 2 Nephi 6–10, the Nephites had already been driven from two lands of inheritance and felt an ongoing concern of being cut off from God’s promises. Belnap illustrates that Jacob’s speech answers these concerns through emphasizing and expounding on the covenantal relationship made possible by God acting as the Divine Warrior. Jacob quotes Isaiah passages in his discourse and in some instances makes his own additions to emphasize important aspects. He illustrates how the Divine Warrior provides the hardships, knowledge, and power for an individual to become a divine warrior, and he …
Identifying Our Best Candidate For Nephi's Bountiful, Warren P. Aston
Identifying Our Best Candidate For Nephi's Bountiful, Warren P. Aston
Journal of Book of Mormon Studies
Scholars have presented and defended different viewpoints concerning the Lehite journey and the location of Nephi’s Bountiful. Aston explains that some of these arguments contain factual errors, such as claims regarding fertility and timber for Nephi’s ship and a lack of accounting for all possibilities. Discrepancies in theories and differences in opinion do not lessen the worth of all that has been found in Arabia and the supported theories, but acknowledging the sometimes contrary data will aid the search for the best candidate for Nephi’s Bountiful.
