Reprints And Preliminary Reports

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

Does the Book of Mormon stand alone when it says that Jesus taught important gospel messages after his resurrection? "No," answers Hugh Nibley, as he surveys the "40 day literature" in his 1966 article entitled Evangelium Quadraginta Dierum. Although modern biblical scholars tend to discount the early Christian accounts of the post-resurrection ministry of the Savior, Nibley argues for a literal, historical interpretation. From this, an interesting perspective on 3 Nephi can emerge.

Nephi's Arrows Create Solid Bulls-Eye, Joseph Fielding Smith Nov 2023

Nephi's Arrows Create Solid Bulls-Eye, Joseph Fielding Smith

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

Three times in 1 Nephi 16 we are told that Nephi broke his steel bow. Never does it say that he broke any arrows. Yet when Nephi makes a new wooden bow, the text also says that he made "out of a straight stick, an arrow." (1 Ne. 16:23). Why would he need to make new arrows when he apparently still had a quiver full of old ones?

Book Of Mormon Critical Text Nov 2023

Book Of Mormon Critical Text

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

Critical texts of the Bible have been available for many years, showing variant readings from early Greek or Hebrew manuscripts accompanying the familiar phrasing of the standard Bible. Heavily footnoted, these volumes show how words and structures of the text have appeared in different editions over time and in different languages. They have become an essential tool for scholarly research on the scripture. They also aid serious readers by clarifying how the text may be interpreted.

President's Message, John W. Welch Nov 2023

President's Message, John W. Welch

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

In 1832, Section 84 of the Doctrine and Covenants was revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith. In this great section, the Lord explained one of the reasons why the people of the Church languished in spiritual darkness: "And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received..." Members of the Church were told that they would remain under condemnation until "they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments" which had been given to them (D&C 84:53, 57).


Metonymy In The Book Of Mormon Nov 2023

Metonymy In The Book Of Mormon

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

A suggestion by Gordon Thomasson led to a May 3 seminar where 11 F.A.R.M.S. collaborators examined another subtle stylistic feature in the Book of Mormon. Metonymy is the practice of giving a person or place a name whose meaning reflects an event or trait associated with that person or place. A closely related practice sees a person's name become symbolic of some phenomenon. An example of metonymy is in I Sam. 25 where a man is said to have been named Nabal, "fool," because he refused to aid David and his supporters. The second pattern is shown in the statement …


The Position Of Twelver Shia On The Qur’An: Presentation And Critique, Eid Harahsheh Nov 2023

The Position Of Twelver Shia On The Qur’An: Presentation And Critique, Eid Harahsheh

Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series

This study addresses a very important topic: the position of the Shiites regarding the Holy Qur’an. It clarifies their views on the authenticity of the Qur’an, allegations of its distortion, and the belief in its outward and inward aspects. To achieve its objectives, the study employed both descriptive and critical approaches. It concluded that the Twelver Shiites rely on some myths and concepts not grounded in reality in their understanding of the Qur’an. The study recommended exercising caution in dealing with the Twelver Shiites, especially given the proliferation of satellite channels and social media, as they tend to mix various …

Palliyogam: A Vibrant Legacy Of The Syro-Malabar Archiepiscopal Church, Dery Davis Nov 2023

Palliyogam: A Vibrant Legacy Of The Syro-Malabar Archiepiscopal Church, Dery Davis

Journal of Global Catholicism

This article explores the historic inheritance of the Palliyogam of the sui iuris Syro-Malabar Major Archiepiscopal Church, focusing on its role in maintaining synodality in ecclesial life. Palliyogam, a parish assembly, has been the cornerstone of ecclesial communion among Malabar Christians for centuries. As Pope Francis inaugurates the three-year synod on synodality, this study examines how Palliyogam aligns with this synodal vision. The article delves into both the ancient form of Palliyogam and its present-day manifestation, shedding light on their theology and role in governance and decision-making within the Syro-Malabar tradition. The article emphasizes that synodality is already inherent …

Old World Covenant Patterns In King Benjamin's Speech Nov 2023

Old World Covenant Patterns In King Benjamin's Speech

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

"That the covenant ceremonies in both the Old Testament and the Book of Mosiah reflect an ancient Near Eastern pattern prescribed for such occasions may provide another control for establishing the genuineness of the Book of Mormon," says Stephen Ricks, in his recent paper entitled "The Treaty/Covenant Pattern in King Benjamin's Address."
