On March 27 Carl Johannessen, emeritus professor of Geography from the University of Oregon, spoke about evidences found in the ancient Old World of crops normally considered indigenous to the New World, particularly maize. His discussion, entitled "Diffusion of Cultural Traits across the Oceans in Pre-Columbian Times," included a slide presentation showing ancient architecture that depicts what he argues is maize. If his evidence is confirmed by additional research, it will help establish the existence of contacts between the Old and New Worlds before Columbus, thus helping to establish the plausibility of the Book of Mormon account.

Brown Bag Lectures Continue To Inform
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Two outstanding Brown Bag lectures were presented in February. Louis C. Midgley, professor of Political Science at BYU, discussed "The Authorship Debate: Who Really Wrote the Book of Mormon?" This lecture was based on a paper Midgley has submitted for publication in a new FARMS collection of essays on the authorship issue. Midgley gave a history of attempts to dismiss Joseph Smith's explanation for the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. In his paper, Midgley writes: "Those who fashion ... naturalistic explanations [of the Book of Mormon's origin] are faced with, among other challenges, the task of uncovering in …

Authorship Essays Reprinted
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Since 1830, millions of people have read the Book of Mormon and have been convinced that Joseph Smith's account of its origins is correct-that it is an ancient document given to him for a season by a divine messenger to translate by the gift and power of God. Critics, however, have argued that the book must be a fraud.

Byu Symposium Focuses On Historicity And Scriptures
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
On February 23 and 24, the BYU Religious Studies Center sponsored a "Symposium on Historicity and the Latter-day Saint Scriptures." Critics raise questions regularly about whether the scriptures are actually historical documents or are instead either frauds or some form of faith-promoting fiction. This symposium, organized by Paul Y. Hoskisson, associate professor of Ancient Scripture at BYU, brought together a dozen LDS scholars to discuss the nature of the evidence that supports the historicity of the scriptures.

Unintentional Sin In Benjamin's Discourse
Unintentional Sin In Benjamin's Discourse
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In explaining the atonement of Jesus Christ, King Benjamin pointedly states that in addition to atoning for the fall of Adam, "his blood atoneth for the sins of those .. . who have died not knowing the will of God concerning them, or who have ignorantly sinned" (Mosiah 3:11). For modern readers, the notion of sinning unintentionally may seem illogical. Isn't sin a conscious violation of a commandment of God? If someone transgresses a law of God in ignorance, is there any guilt or culpability that calls for repentance?

New Name, New Organization, But Same High Quality Found In Latest Issue Of Review
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The Review of Books on the Book of Mormon, published by FARMS since 1989, has attempted to assist students of the Book of Mormon by reviewing every significant publication about the Book of Mormon published each year. While that commitment remains unchanged, the focus of the reviews published in the last several issues has expanded to match the expanding interests of FARMS - first, the Book of Mormon, and then other ancient scripture and related topics; thus the name of the Review has been changed to the FARMS Review of Books to more accurately reflect this expanded focus.

By Land Or By Sea? Revisiting The Bering Straits, Allen J. Christenson
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Traditionally, most anthropologists have accepted the theory that the ancestors of all native American cultures in the New World migrated by foot from Asia during the Pleistocene Era when the sea level was lower and a narrow strip of land called the Bering Land Bridge connected the two continents. But as a review in the latest issue of BYU Studies shows, Dr. E. James Dixon, in Quest for the Origins of the First Americans, challenges this traditional model.
