Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
FARMS is pleased to make available a short commentary by C. S. Lewis, noted Christian scholar and author, entitled Reflections on the Psalms, at a discount (see the order form). In the introduction Lewis explains that he writes "as one amateur to another" about what he has learned from the Psalms; his purpose is to compare notes rather than to teach.
Did Joseph Smith Know Egyptian?
Did Joseph Smith Know Egyptian?
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In a letter addressed to Grant S. Heward of Midvale, Utah, an outspoken critic of the book of Abraham, William Foxwell Albright, the doyen of American ancient Near Eastern studies, wrote: "There does appear to be evidence that Joseph Smith had studied some Egyptian. For one thing, he undoubtedly spent a great deal of money and effort in trying to master Egyptian, but, as you know, when the Book of Mormon was written, Egyptian had just begun to be deciphered and it is all the more surprising that there are two Egyptian names, Paanchi and Pahor(an) which appear together in …

What The Original Book Of Mormon Manuscript Is Not, John W. Welch
What The Original Book Of Mormon Manuscript Is Not, John W. Welch
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
For well over a decade, FARMS has sponsored extensive research on the original manuscript of the Book of Mormon. About 25 percent of the pages that were written by Oliver Cowdery and other scribes as Joseph Smith dictated the Book of Mormon in 1829 have survived down to the present day. While much has been written and said about what the original manuscript is, perhaps just as significant is a collection of facts about what it is not.

New Farms Release-Isaiah In The Book Of Mormon
New Farms Release-Isaiah In The Book Of Mormon
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The richness and depth of Isaiah's teachings are often seen as barriers to understanding his words. Scholars devote their entire careers to the study of Isaiah's writings and never run low on questions to answer, interpretations to ponder, or teachings to explore and expound on. It is widely felt that the Isaiah passages quoted by Nephi, Jacob, Abinadi, and the resurrected Lord are the most difficult sections of the Book of Mormon to understand. Isaiah was commanded by the Lord to speak in such a way that his rebellious audience would "hear...but understand not" and would "see...but perceive not …

Review Extends Los-Evangelical Dialogue
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The current issue of the FARMS Review of Books (volume 11, number 2) features reviews of the groundbreaking book How Wide the Divide? A Mormon and an Evangelical in Conversation, by Craig L. Blomberg and Stephen E. Robinson. Review editor Daniel C. Peterson writes, "The appearance of [this book] seems to us, as well as to others, to offer a very significant opportunity to begin a new chapter in the often troubled relationship between Latter-day Saints and their conservative Protestant brothers and sisters-perhaps even ultimately with other Christians beyond the evangelical wing of modern Western Protestantism. We want to …

Further Evidence For Book Of Mormon Names, John A. Tvedtnes, Matthew Roper
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In recent years, ancient sites in and around Israel have yielded numerous ancient writings, many of which contain proper names. Although many of the names are known from the Bible and other ancient texts, others were unattested in ancient sources until recently. Included in the latter group are several Semitic names that appear in the Book of Mormon. Three of them are discussed here.

Three Trees In The Book Of Mormon, John W. Welch
Three Trees In The Book Of Mormon, John W. Welch
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The tree is a primary symbol in three Book of Mormon texts: Zenos' s allegory of the olive tree (Jacob 5), Lehi's dream of the tree of life (1 Nephi 8), and Alma's discourse on the seed of faith (Alma 32). Interestingly, these three symbolic uses of the tree reflect a shifting emphasis from one era to the next.
Jacob 5, Romans 11: A Common Textual Tradition?
Jacob 5, Romans 11: A Common Textual Tradition?
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Readers who are currently studying the letters of Paul will find an article by James E. Faulconer to be of interest. In "The Olive Tree and the Work of God: Jacob 5 and Romans 11," published in The Allegory of the Olive Tree, he suggests that the olive tree passages in Jacob 5 and Romans 11 are connected by a common text. He first discusses differences between the two passages, noting that they seem to show that the passages simply share a common rhetorical tradition. However, Faulconer goes on to consider that other linguistic evidence "suggests the possibility of …

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In his book Mormonism and Early Christianity, Hugh W. Nibley discusses how the early apocryphal texts contain an impressive body of evidence that has direct bearing on questions concerning the his- · toricity of the 40-day ministry of Jesus Christ (see Acts 1:3).
Is Farms A Commercial Entity?
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Just over two years ago, FARMS began publishing books on its own rather than in partnership with other publishers. In part that decision was made in order to give FARMS more editorial control over its publications. We also wanted to try to reach a broader audience by marketing our books ourselves, in the hopes that focusing solely on distributing our own books might be a more effective way to reach more people than getting lost in the larger marketing efforts of a larger company (the jury is still out on that issue).
