The Rich Man, Lazarus, And Doctrine & Covenants 104:18, Steven C. Harper Jan 2008

The Rich Man, Lazarus, And Doctrine & Covenants 104:18, Steven C. Harper

BYU Studies

Doctrine and Covenants (a scripture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) 104:13-18 explains the law of consecration by alluding to the New Testament story of Lazarus the beggar. The connection between the latter-day revelation and the New Testament parable is made more obvious by the use of the Latin word "dives" in the Kirtland Revelation Book. When the revelation was published, "dives" was changed to "the wicked." Dives is the Latin word for "rich" that appears in the Latin Vulgate Bible, but during the Middle Ages, the word became a proper name for the rich man in …


Online Genealogical Research Resources, Howard C. Bybee Jan 2008

Online Genealogical Research Resources, Howard C. Bybee

BYU Studies

More than three million Internet sites offer their services to genealogists and family historians for research. This truly exhausting array of Internet sites makes online genealogical research more convenient and more confusing for beginners and professionals. Keeping up with innovations can easily distract an Internet researcher. Individuals, family organizations, corporations, nonprofit organizations, libraries, and governments continually create more online content, much of it useful for family history and genealogical research. What we used to call genealogy has morphed into family history, and the web serves as both the scholarly publisher and the vanity press for primary and secondary sources used …


The Current State Of Primary Historical Soures Online, Richard Hacken Jan 2008

The Current State Of Primary Historical Soures Online, Richard Hacken

BYU Studies

As a vital first step in substantiating and documenting historical details, there can be no substitute for a primary source derived from as close and contemporaneous an observation of a given event as possible. A historian unable to consult authoritative and honest voices from the past can verify little but is left to tinker with tradition and supposition. Until quite recently, the main mode of examining a primary source has been one on one—one scholar face-to-face with one original document in one physical space. Historiography has been slowed by travel expenses, time constraints, vagaries in obtaining permission, and other logistical …

"O Lord, My God", Sheldon Lawrence Jul 2007

"O Lord, My God", Sheldon Lawrence

BYU Studies

Joseph Smith’s dying words have always intrigued me. I like them, in part, for what they don’t say. The expression lacks a verb and thus neither asks nor confesses nor praises nor questions. It is not a plea for extended life or safety. It is not the dying command of a captain to attack or take cover. We find no last instructions to the Saints or final declaration of love and loyalty. But rather as the hot lead balls tore through the prophet’s body, as he staggered at the window’s edge and fell into the tragic fulfillment of his last …
