Hamblin of the BYU History Department and member of the F.A.R.M.S. board examines some common weaknesses of anti-Mormon comments on the Book of Mormon in a new paper, "Basic Problems with the Anti-Mormon Approach to the Geography and Archaeology of the Book of Mormon."

Biblical Scholar Compares Moses And Joseph Smith
Biblical Scholar Compares Moses And Joseph Smith
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In "The Formation of the Canon of the Old Testament," in Religion and Law: Biblical, Judaic, and Islamic Perspectives, (edited by Edwin Firmage, Bernard Weiss, and John Welch and published in 1990 by Eisenbrauns), David Noel Freedman discusses the legacy of Moses and his Torah to the Western world. This legacy, he believes, is "the merger of law and religion, the inseparable joint expression of the divine will, communicated by his prophet. If true religion involves the right relationship between humanity and deity, then the law 1s the way in which that relationship is defined and regulated." Freedman concludes …

The Symbolism Of Eating And Drinking In The Book Of Mormon Is Explored
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In a recent article published in the latest issue of BYU Studies, Richard D. Rust of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill discusses images of eating and drinking (and the lack thereof) from the Book of Mormon and the ways in which these images are used to "define the essential nature of people, emphasize problems of survival, illustrate degradation, characterize social relationships, reinforce covenants, poetically define a hope for eternal life, and suggest a response to the book as a whole."

New Paper Examines Facsimile 2
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Facsimile 2 of the Pearl of Great Price is perhaps the most enigmatic aspect of the revelations and translations of Joseph Smith.

Farms-Sponsored Researcher Searches For More Plant Evidence Of Voyages From India To America
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Assisted by a grant from the Foundation, Carl L. Johannessen, Emeritus Professor of Geography at the University of Oregon, is now in India with an assistant searching for sculptured images of sunflowers and other American crop plants. Their earlier studies documented that images of maize from the New World had been carved on temple sculptures in India dating to medieval times, centuries before the Spaniards and Portuguese could have carried the plant to Asia after A.O. 1500, as scholars commonly suppose (Johannessen and Parker, "Maize Ears Sculpted in 12th and 13th Century A.O. India as Indicators of Pre-Columbian Diffusion," Economic …

In 1982, Erich Robert Paul published an article in BYU Studies entitled "Joseph Smith and the Manchester (New York) Library." Essentially Paul shows that, while Joseph had potential access to a wide range of books there, "it is likely that during the 1820s he simply was not a part of the literary culture." This article has long been available as a F.A.R.M.S. Reprint.
