Hofmann Admits Forgery
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
F.A.R.M.S. members outside of Utah may be unaware of new developments regarding Mark Hofmann, who has recently pleaded guilty to reduced murder and fraud charges and has been sentenced to prison. Part of the plea bargaining included Hofmann's agreement to tell all about his forging of documents purporting to related to LDS Church and colonial U.S. history. Hofmann has admitted that the "Salamander Letter" was a hoax, and indications are that all major documents he "found" during the past nine years may prove to have been extremely clever and insidious frauds. The sadness of this situation is inexpressible. We extend …

Forms Of Nephite Laws Considered
Forms Of Nephite Laws Considered
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Ancient Near Eastern and Biblical laws were written according to certain stylistic conventions. Two such formal aspects of ancient law have recently been used to sharpen our understanding of Nephite law as well. In "Series of Laws in the Book of Mormon," John W. Welch examines ten significantly consistent law lists from which one can reconstruct a fairly clear picture of the underlying Nephite law code and its relationship to the Code of the Covenant in Exodus 20-23.
Why Did Nephi Write 1 Nephi?
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Nephi's primary stated purpose for writing the book of 1 Nephi was "to persuade men to come unto God" (1 Ne. 6:4). In addition, his writings served several other unstated purposes, as Noel B. Reynolds demonstrates in "The Political Dimensions of Nephi 's Small Plates." Nephi was the fourth son in his family, and, as such, he was not entitled to the rights of leadership and ownership belonging to the eldest son.

This article gives scores of examples illustrating dozens of stylistic patterns and devices known to Bible scholars and also occurring in the Book of Mormon. This contribution not only deepens our reading and appreciation of the scripture, it also demonstrates the frequent subtlety and great complexity of the record.

More Nibley
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
"Last Call: An Apocalyptic Warning from the Book of Mormon," is an article based on a talk given by Nibley at the 1986 Sunstone Symposium in Salt Lake City.

Wordprint Analysis In The Book Of Mormon
Wordprint Analysis In The Book Of Mormon
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
"Since the advent of modern programmable high speed computers, a new science of computer assisted literary 'stylometry' or 'wordprinting' has been developing. By statistically analyzing the small non-contextual word patterns of a disputed document, it is now possible to test which suspected authors did not write a given work," reports John L. HIiton.
Lehi's Ocean Voyage
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

Nephi's Vision And The Revelation Of John
Nephi's Vision And The Revelation Of John
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
''The revelations of Nephi and of John have more in common . .. than merely the apocalyptic form, for Nephi's vision anticipates that of John. The two are complementary, centering in part on the same characters and themes: the Lamb and his Church, the Apostasy, the great and abominable church of the devil, and the restoration of the gospel in the latter days," asserts Stephen E. Robinson in "Early Christianity and 1 Nephi 13-14" and 'Warring Against the Saints of God."
Who Wrote The Title Page?

Since Cumorah
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
"Since its first printing in 1967, Since Cumorah has been a classic in Book of Mormon scholarship, and its significance has not decreased with the years," says John W. Welch. "We are pleased to offer this expanded volume to a new generation of Book of Mormon students. This long popular book examines the Book of Mormon in light of the discoveries at Qumran, Nag-Hammadi, and throughout the ancient world. It's Nibley at his best, challenging many traditional scholarly assumptions and opening avenues of inquiry regarding the Book of Mormon and its present-day implications."

Farms In The News
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
F.A.R.M.S. has two orientations: One is to do the academic scriptural research; another is to distribute those results as widely and inexpensively as possible. The recent addition of Sue Bergin to the F.A.R.M.S. staff as Coordinator of Public Relations has enhanced that second effort immensely. Like most people working with the Foundation, Sue puts in long hours as a volunteer because of her love for the scriptures.
