Can The 1834 Affidavits Attacking The Smith Family Be Trusted?, Daniel C. Peterson

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

The character and claims of Joseph Smith are fundamental to the claims of the Church he founded. Knowing this, critics of the Prophet have contended for more than a century and a half that he and his family were the kind of people from whom nobody would want to buy a used car, much less receive a plan of salvation.

Farms-Led Expedition Examines Likely Candidate For Lehi's Old-World Bountiful

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

The much-delayed and long-awaited examination of Wadi Sayq, a likely site for Old World Bountiful, became a reality recently. In April, a team of researchers examined the port area of Khor Kharfot ("Fort Inlet" in English) through which the Wadi Sayq enters the Indian Ocean on the southern coast of Oman, at the extreme western end near the border with Yemen. Their findings indicate that Khor Kharfot may be the site of Lehi's Bountiful.

More Published On New Testament Word Studies

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

The April 1993 Ensign magazine contained an article discussing three New Testament words, restoration, endow, and perfect. Those studies were drawn from a longer paper by John W. Welch published by F.A.R.M.S. That paper similarly discussed a total of twelve biblical Greek words. If you missed that paper when it was first offered in 1991, you may want to read it now. For your convenience, it is relisted on the current order form.

F.A.R.M.S. has been approached by a nonprofit educational company offering to arrange tours of Israel and surrounding areas for F.A.R.M.S. subscribers.

Interested F.A.R.M.S. subscribers could join a tour at almost any time, and a special F.A.R.M.S. tour may be arranged in February if there is enough interest. In addition, travellers who recruit five additional tour members can travel free.


Ancient Studies Features In A Recent Issue Of Byu Studies Sep 2023

Ancient Studies Features In A Recent Issue Of Byu Studies

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

Readers interested in ancient research and Mormon studies will welcome several articles in the latest issue of BYU Studies. A short study by Donald Parry discusses a new insight into Psalm 24:6, widely recognized as a temple psalm. Parry suggests that the Hebrew dor ("generation") might be read as dur ("circle"), possibly alluding to a prayer circle of those who seek the Lord. Psalm 24 may reflect ancient pre-Mosaic temple practices, or it may prophetically look forward to the post-Mosaic temple era, when higher ordinances are known to mankind.

Connections Between The Visions Of Lehi And Nephi, John W. Welch

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

Although a simple book in several respects, the Book of Mormon is also marvelously complex, as in the interconnections between several of its texts. No example of this phenomenon is more instructive than the case of Lehi's and Nephi's visions.

The Complex Intersections Of Being A Latina Immigrant Survivor: How Multiple Systems Of Oppression Enable Intimate Partner Violence, Zulema Aleman

sprinkle: an undergraduate journal of feminist and queer studies

The realm of intimate partner violence education, prevention and awareness is one that is currently growing. Even though there are improvements happening, there are communities being left out of both the movement and body of research. This paper aims at connecting the stories of undocumented Latinas who are survivors of intimate partner violence in the central coast of California with the current body of research on immigrant survivors. In doing so, it seeks to explore the areas where the body of research matches the stories of these women in the central coast of California and where there is a lack …


Revolutionizing Space: A Case Study On Accessibility And Comfort, Jennifer Macmartin Sep 2023

Revolutionizing Space: A Case Study On Accessibility And Comfort, Jennifer Macmartin

sprinkle: an undergraduate journal of feminist and queer studies

Influenced by a dynamic and revolutionary crip theory, this piece seeks to operationalize the combination of crip theory/disability studies and intersectional feminist praxis. Dis/ability is consistently disregarded as a central social identity, as the world has been literally built and maintained by (temporarily) able-bodied people with the intent to accommodate able-bodied people’s needs and comfort. DeafSpace, a revolutionary project prioritizing deaf people’s needs and comfort, serves as a case study for potential revolutionary architectural projects that focus on dis/ability accommodation, accessibility, and comfort. However, in seeking additional solutions to this issue, we must be conscious of tokenizing the experiences of …
