Shorebird Predation On Benthic Macroinvertebrates In An Irrigation Reservoir, Janet R. Mihuc, Charles H. Trost, Timothy B. Mihuc Jul 1997

Shorebird Predation On Benthic Macroinvertebrates In An Irrigation Reservoir, Janet R. Mihuc, Charles H. Trost, Timothy B. Mihuc

Great Basin Naturalist

American Falls Reservoir in southeastern Idaho is an irrigation reservoir used as an inland feeding stopover by many shorebird species. Six exclosure experiments were conducted during the 1990 drawdown period to investigate shorebird predation impact on benthic macroinvertebrate populations. The study sites differed in sediment composition, sediment slope, invertebrate densities, and shorebird abundance. Shorebird predation significantly affected invertebrate densities in only 1 of 6 experiments (Aberdeen Mouth). This site had higher sediment slope and a lower water recedence than other study sites, resulting in concentration of shorebird predation on a small area of newly exposed sediment. Shorebird predation had the …


Nephi's Psalm: 2 Nephi 4:16-35 In The Light Of Form-Critical Analysis, Matthew Nickerson Jul 1997

Nephi's Psalm: 2 Nephi 4:16-35 In The Light Of Form-Critical Analysis, Matthew Nickerson

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Identifying the poetic forms in the Book of Mormon enables readers to appreciate its beautiful literary style and gain a better understanding of its message. The form-critical analysis of psalms, first outlined by Hermann Gunkel in 1926, demonstrates sharp similarities between Nephi’s psalm and similar psalms in the Old Testament. Nephi’s psalm plainly follows the format and substance of the individual lament as described by Gunkel and elaborated by numerous subsequent scholars. As in other instances of Hebrew poetic forms in the Book of Mormon, understanding and appreciating the psalm, more particularly the personal lament, can offer new insights into …


The Journey Of The Hero: Archetypes Of Earthly Adventure And Spiritual Passage In 1 Nephi, Tod R. Harris Jul 1997

The Journey Of The Hero: Archetypes Of Earthly Adventure And Spiritual Passage In 1 Nephi, Tod R. Harris

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Study of the varied metaphorical levels of the Book of Mormon continues to yield new insights into the message and meaning of that book. Several prominent typological readings of aspects of the Book of Mormon have been published, but despite calls for such an effort, little inquiry into its possible archetypal levels, or what has been called “the mythic dimension” of the book, has yet been undertaken. As an initial attempt at such an endeavor, I compare certain events described in 1 Nephi with the elements of one prominent mythic archetype, the hero’s journey, as elucidated by Joseph Campbell in …


Another Note On The Three Days Of Darkness, John Gee Jul 1997

Another Note On The Three Days Of Darkness, John Gee

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

The fragmentary text on a stele erected at Karnak seems to be connected with the volcanic eruption on Thera. The phraseology in many instances bears uncanny resemblance to the Book of Mormon account of the destruction in the Americas at the time of the crucifixion.


The Arabian Bountiful Discovered? Evidence For Nephi's Bountiful, Warren P. Aston Jul 1997

The Arabian Bountiful Discovered? Evidence For Nephi's Bountiful, Warren P. Aston

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

According to the Book of Mormon, a land named “Bountiful” was a fertile site on the Arabian Peninsula with timber, fresh water, and ore where Nephi built a ship to carry Lehi’s group to the New World. In the seemingly barren land of the southern Arabian peninsula, a site that appears to correspond to the description in Nephi’s record has been identified on the remote southern coast of the country of Oman. Kharfot may not be the exact location of Bountiful, but its discovery does show that a place matching the criteria for Bountiful does exist.


The Way Of Life And The Way Of Death In The Book Of Mormon, Mack C. Stirling Jul 1997

The Way Of Life And The Way Of Death In The Book Of Mormon, Mack C. Stirling

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

The Book of Mormon describes a great division in mankind between the few who walk in the way of life and the many who walk in the way of death. This division results from the response of each individual to Christ or to the voice of God during probation. Men either hearken to the voice of Christ and progressively acquire spiritual life or they hearken to the voice of the devil and progressively descend into spiritual death. Nine Book of Mormon texts reveal detailed teachings on life and death. A diagram illustrates the ideas of each text. The conception and …


“Inspiring” But Not True: An Added Glimpse Of The Rlds Stance On The Book Of Mormon, Louis Midgley Jul 1997

“Inspiring” But Not True: An Added Glimpse Of The Rlds Stance On The Book Of Mormon, Louis Midgley

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Since the late 1960s RLDS “liberals” have argued that the Book of Mormon should not be read as an authentic ancient history. This novel reading of the Book of Mormon has been part of a sustained effort by the RLDS hierarchy to make the Reorganization conform more closely with Protestant liberal approaches to the Bible. I demonstrate that the RLDS hierarchy has encouraged changes in the way the Book of Mormon is read by RLDS intellectuals. I then examine the arguments of Roger Launius, currently the foremost RLDS historian, who has recently insisted that the Book of Mormon ought to …


Something To Move Mountains: The Book Of Mormon In Hugh Nibley's Correspondence, Boyd J. Petersen Jul 1997

Something To Move Mountains: The Book Of Mormon In Hugh Nibley's Correspondence, Boyd J. Petersen

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Hugh Nibley’s correspondence reveals a lifelong fascination with the Book of Mormon. This is significant for two reasons: First, Nibley has taken the book seriously longer than we have as a church, and second, the private Hugh Nibley is as devoted to the Book of Mormon as is the public man. Nibley’s interest in the book is threefold: he recognizes the striking similarities it shares with other ancient Near Eastern texts; acknowledges its witness to Joseph Smith’s divine calling; and, most importantly, perceives the relevance and accuracy of the book’s prophetic warnings. In his letters, Nibley also addresses criticism raised …


The Book Of Mormon: A Blueprint For Organizing The Church, Scott H. Faulring Jul 1997

The Book Of Mormon: A Blueprint For Organizing The Church, Scott H. Faulring

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Concepts from the Book of Mormon contributed to how the church was built up and conducted. Oliver Cowdery was instructed to draw upon the Book of Mormon in formulating his vision of how the restored church should be organized and regulated. His 1829 Articles of the Church of Christ were a precursor to Joseph Smith’s 1830 Articles and Covenants of the Church of Christ (now known as Doctrine and Covenants 20). Three key aspects of church organization that originated in the Book of Mormon include baptism and priesthood authority, the ordination of priests and teachers, and the administration of the …

A General Reader's Library Of Book Of Mormon Studiesthe (Literary) Coming Forth Of The Book Of Mormon: Three Recent Milestones, Richard H. Cracroft

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Cracroft reviews the following books that can deepen one’s understanding of the Book of Mormon: Richard Dilworth Rust’s Feasting on the Word: The Literary Testimony of the Book of Mormon; Marilyn Arnold’s Sweet Is the Word: Reflections on the Book of Mormon: Its Narrative, Teachings and People; and Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s Christ and the New Covenant: The Messianic Message of the Book of Mormon.


Zoogeographic Affinities Of The Stoneflies (Plecoptera) Of The Raft River Mountains, Utah, Richard M. Houseman, Richard W. Baumann Jul 1997

Zoogeographic Affinities Of The Stoneflies (Plecoptera) Of The Raft River Mountains, Utah, Richard M. Houseman, Richard W. Baumann

Great Basin Naturalist

We examined faunal affinities of the Raft River Mountains using stoneflies (Plecoptera) as indicators. This island-like mountain range is isolated from other major mountain ranges in the Intermountain West by low-elevation, arid regions. Thirty-seven species were recorded from collections from 19 sites in the Raft River Mountains. Cluster analysis demonstrated the Raft River Mountain stonefly assemblage to be most similar to faunas of the Sawtooth and Wasatch mountains, and quite different from that of the Sierra Nevada. An analysis of the distribution patterns of each species, on a family-by-family basis, showed that the Raft River Mountains fauna consists mostly of …

The Golden Age Of Roman Helvetia, H. Dwight Page Jun 1997

The Golden Age Of Roman Helvetia, H. Dwight Page

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Any traveller who had visited the region of present day Switzerland in the first century before Christ and who could have returned there three centuries later at the end of the second century of the Christian era would have been astonished by the differences between the two periods. Whereas the pre-Roman country of the Helvetii had been a vast forest whose inhabitants had lived in rudimentary hilltop oppida and had spent their lives hunting, fishing and tilling the soil of small farms, the Roman province of Helvetia in the third century after Christ was a prosperous nation whose citizens lived …
