Nibley Temple Essay Reprinted
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
FARMS has reprinted (from volume 4 of the Collected Works of Hugh Nibley) an influential article by Nibley on the temple of ancient Israel, entitled "What Is a Temple?" The subheadings in the text give a sense of its content and emphases.
Paul's Detention Site In Israel Believed Found
Paul's Detention Site In Israel Believed Found
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Reuters reports that archaeologists in Israel have uncovered a Roman governmental complex in Caesarea where they believe Paul was held in detention. In Acts 23-26 we read that Paul was kept in Herod's judgment hall in Caesarea, where he faced in turn Felix, Festus, and Agrippa and where he appealed to be sent before Caesar's judgment seat in Rome. An inscription found in the site indicates that the complex housed the government bureau responsible for internal security for Judea, making this complex the likely spot for Paul's incarceration and hearing before the Roman governor.

Hebraic Elements In The Language Of The Book Of Mormon, Royal Skousen
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Recent research has yielded another interesting clue about the language of the Nephites and about the manner in which it was translated into English. By comparing the original manuscript of the Book of Mormon to the subsequent printed versions, Royal Skousen has found that the original English-language text of the Book of Mormon contained expressions that are uncharacteristic of English. One such expression is a Hebrew-like conditional clause.

Byu Forum Address, Now On Video, Considers Authorship Issues
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
On 27 May 1997, Noel B. Reynolds, president of FARMS and professor of political science at BYU, presented an address at a BYU Forum Assembly. His topic: "The Authorship of the Book of Mormon." Reynolds brought students and faculty up to date on the state of knowledge on authorship issues related to the Book of Mormon, drawing on the research of many LDS scholars presented in two books he has compiled on the subject, the first in 1982 entitled Book of Mormon Authorship: New Light on Ancient Origins, and the second published this year under the title Book of …
The Debate Over Biblical Archaeology, John Tvedtnes
The Debate Over Biblical Archaeology, John Tvedtnes
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
There are two major camps among archaeologists studying biblical lands. The so-called "minimalists" tend to accept only a bare minimum of information from the Bible as historical fact, while the "maximalists," believe that much of it (although not all) is real history. The latter point to archaeological evidence such as the recently discovered eighth-century B.C. inscription mentioning "the house of David." The minimalists dismiss this and a number of other finds inscribed with biblical names as forgeries planted for archaeologists to discover.

The Sobering Lesson Of The Grolier Codex, John L. Sorenson, John W. Welch
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
T he story of the authenticating of the Grolier Codex twenty-five years ago still teaches some valuable lessons about the dangers of jumping to conclusions and the problems of name-calling, even though the scholars involved no longer hold to their original positions. As, discussed recently by John L. Sorenson, the discovery of ancient manuscripts is a touchy issue that, for some people, can be unsettling.

Hinckley and the BYU Board of Trustees to have FARMS become part of Brigham Young University.

Language Sciences And Their Impact On Dispelling The Illusion Of Difference And Contradiction In The Book Of God, Ahmed Ababneh
Language Sciences And Their Impact On Dispelling The Illusion Of Difference And Contradiction In The Book Of God, Ahmed Ababneh
Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series
This study examines the employment of language sciences to dispel the illusion of difference and contradiction in the Holy Qur’an through the use of rhetoric and grammar. Rhetoric is explored through its three branches: semantics, eloquence, and "badi" (embellishment). In semantics, techniques such as the meanings of letters, the method of delivering information and intent, implication and explicitness, and presenting assumptions as certainties or straightforward ideas are analyzed. The rhetorical device of metaphor is also considered. For the science of "badi," the study demonstrates that certain topics influence dispelling misconception, focusing on moral enhancements like exaggeration in description—not for the …
Sources Of Income For Women In Islam, Abdulfattah Al-Samman
Sources Of Income For Women In Islam, Abdulfattah Al-Samman
Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series
According to some studies, the feminization of poverty has become a common trend in Islamic societies, with rates exceeding 70%. This situation directly contradicts the essence of Sharia, which provides women with thirty sources of income and ensures their financial independence and care in all circumstances. If a woman is wealthy, Sharia safeguards her wealth and grants her the freedom to spend it as she wishes. In the Muslim community, a breadwinner is typically responsible for meeting her needs, protecting her honor, and providing food, drink, clothing, and housing according to his ability. In the absence of a breadwinner, Allah …

The Effect Of Credit Facilities Granted By Jordanian Islamic Banks On The Money Supply: An Analytical Study For The Period From 2011 To 2020, Ali Al-Aababneh, Amer Al-Otoum

This study aimed to explore the concept and types of credit facilities and their relationship to the money supply. It also aimed to explain the concept of Islamic banks and their reality in Jordan, as well as the nature and types of financing formulas used by Jordanian Islamic banks in the facilities they grant and their impact on generating bank money. This was achieved through a presentation of statistical analysis models for the independent study variables, represented by credit facilities, the factors affecting them, and the extent of their impact on the dependent variable represented by the money supply.

The study aims to clarify the concept of logical intelligence, the extent of interest in the Sunnah regarding this aspect, and its most important forms within the context of the Prophet’s Sunnah. Furthermore, it examines the role of this type of intelligence in motivating learners and enhancing their ability to think logically, solve problems, perceive …

Irs-Sanctioned Secrecy For Religious Nonprofits: Stepstone Or Stumbling Block?, Mark W. Smith
Master's Projects and Capstones
Internal Revenue Service code automatically confers 501(c)3 nonprofit charity status on religious nonprofits which appear to be “A church, convention of churches, or association of churches described in section 170(b)(1)(A)(i),” as labeled in the IRS Form 990. Additionally, religious charities functioning as a part of a church have no requirement to report any financial information or policies to the IRS or anyone else. This acquiescence to secrecy keeps most of the data on these nonprofit organizations unavailable for research or to inform legislative action or agency policies. This automatic status may also lead to complacency in organizations in financial accountability, …
