The Good Samaritan: A Type And Shadow Of The Plan Of Salvation, John W. Welch Apr 1999

The Good Samaritan: A Type And Shadow Of The Plan Of Salvation, John W. Welch

BYU Studies

Before modernity, Christians read this parable allegorically, with the Samaritan, for example, aptly typifying Christ. Such a reading becomes even stronger when enriched by the full plan of salvation.

Confessions Of A Chameleon, 1983-1991, Edward A. Geary Jan 1999

Confessions Of A Chameleon, 1983-1991, Edward A. Geary

BYU Studies

John Keats coined the term "negative capability" to describe a poet's ability to present his or her material objectively and impersonally. The poet with negative capability, Keats declared, "has no character" and takes "as much delight in conceiving an Iago as an Imogen. What shocks the virtuous philosopher, delights the camelion Poet." Negative capability is probably an optional quality for poets, but it is almost essential for editors—except, of course, those few who deliberately make their publications a sounding board for their own opinions. For the most part, an editor's job is to make other people look good. To the …

The Founding Vision Of Byu Studies, 1959-1967, Clinton F. Larson Jan 1999

The Founding Vision Of Byu Studies, 1959-1967, Clinton F. Larson

BYU Studies

Time is a little consequence when an Event is near. In a rush and emphasis of time, three of us stood in a field to the north of Temple Hill. Darrel Taylor said, "I want to establish a language training center for missionaries of the Church. I want it to be part of the department of foreign languages so that the beauties of the languages can be seen with the Truth that is in them." And I thought of the possibility of a magazine for the university, as it might e, drawing its breath from the influence of ages past, …


Byu Studies From 1967 To 1983, Charles D. Tate Jr. Jan 1999

Byu Studies From 1967 To 1983, Charles D. Tate Jr.

BYU Studies

In my editorial in the first issue of BYU Studies that I edited, I noted that from its inception the journal was to be a "Voice for the Community of LDS Scholars." Since there are enough scholarly journals that will publish secular scholarly studies by LDS authors, BYU Studies was distinctively to be the journal in which faithful Latter-day Saint scholars could publish articles that explored the correlation of their secular studies and their religious convictions. As most of the rest of the world does not believe in modern revelation as a viable medium of scholarly information, none of the …

A Touch Of Refinement: Pioneer Graining, Doris R. Dant

BYU Studies

Visitors to the Salt Lake Tabernacle are often stunned to learn that the pillars supporting the gallery are not marble but are pine painted to look like marble and that the "oak" benches and organ case are also pine with simulated oak graining. The Tabernacle woodwork and furniture are the most visible reminders of the practice of graining, a technique widely used in Utah Territory's furniture to imitate the look of marble, hardwood, and even leather.
