The Sacrament Prayers Studies

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

Latter-day Saints most commonly turn to D&C 20: 76-79 to find the texts of the sacrament prayers they regularly use on Sundays. In fact, however, the words for these prayers came from the Nephites. In a new report listed on the attached order form, the textual history of the sacrament prayers is studied, from Benjamin 's words in Mosiah 5, to Jesus' words in 3 Nephi 18, to the final texts in Moroni 4-5.

Epanalepsis In The Book Of Mormon Dec 2023

Epanalepsis In The Book Of Mormon

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

Larry Childs (Provo, Utah) has recently completed a valuable study of "epanalepsis" in the Book of Mormon. Epanalepsis is the name of a significant literary device known in antiquity. It occurs where an author repeats certain words in the course of a lengthy sentence, to pick up a previous train of thought after a parenthetical aside or other type of diversion, repeating certain words to remind the reader of the original idea of the sentence. The repeated words in the previous sentence illustrate the point. This technique was noted in antiquity by Demetrius, and it is sometimes called "resumptive repetition."
