Eldin Ricks's Concordance Aids Scripture Study Aug 2023

Eldin Ricks's Concordance Aids Scripture Study

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

Eldin Ricks devoted his career to a study of the scriptures.

But one project that he worked on for much of the last twenty years of his life was uncompleted at his death in …

Review Begins New Features: Picks And Index

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

In the latest Review of Books on the Book of Mormon, editor Daniel Peterson selects the books he would most recommend to his readers from among those published in 1994. The book by Warren and Michaela Aston is the most highly recommended in this issue: In the Footsteps of Lehi: New Evidence for Lehi's Journey across Arabia to Bountiful (reviewed by Ara Norwood). Peterson recommends the book enthusiastically for its "brief and rather personal summary of the authors' extremely important research into the Arabian geography" that might correspond to 1 Nephi.

The Lord's elect are responsible for preparing his people for the second coming of the Savior. Brother LeBaron counsels us to …

Authorship Essays Reprinted

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

Since 1830, millions of people have read the Book of Mormon and have been convinced that Joseph Smith's account of its origins is correct-that it is an ancient document given to him for a season by a divine messenger to translate by the gift and power of God. Critics, however, have argued that the book must be a fraud.

Irs-Sanctioned Secrecy For Religious Nonprofits: Stepstone Or Stumbling Block?, Mark W. Smith Aug 2023

Irs-Sanctioned Secrecy For Religious Nonprofits: Stepstone Or Stumbling Block?, Mark W. Smith

Master's Projects and Capstones

Internal Revenue Service code automatically confers 501(c)3 nonprofit charity status on religious nonprofits which appear to be “A church, convention of churches, or association of churches described in section 170(b)(1)(A)(i),” as labeled in the IRS Form 990. Additionally, religious charities functioning as a part of a church have no requirement to report any financial information or policies to the IRS or anyone else. This acquiescence to secrecy keeps most of the data on these nonprofit organizations unavailable for research or to inform legislative action or agency policies. This automatic status may also lead to complacency in organizations in financial accountability, …
