New Journal Studies Ancient Transoceanic Travel
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The inaugural issue of a new scholarly journal of interest to students of the Book of Mormon has recently become available. Volume 1 of Pre-Columbiana: A Journal of Long-Distance Contacts is a double issue (June and December 1998) of 160 pages. The journal is the product of two distinct streams of interest in the topic of ancient transoceanic travel. On one hand, the key contributors are senior academic scholars who have a long record of research and publication on this subject. Believing there is substantial evidence for such early voyages, these people have long contradicted the orthodox view that no …

Gnosticism And The Loss Of Prophecy In The Early Christian Church
Gnosticism And The Loss Of Prophecy In The Early Christian Church
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In his book The World and the Prophets, Hugh W. Nibley considers the historical role of Gnostics and their influence on the early Christian church. He explains that in the great Gnostic revolution of the second century, the whole orientation of the church changed completely. What brought this about? It was the ceasing of prophetic voices. The continuing demand in the church for the spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy, gave rise to an army of quacks and fakirs who, though discredited in time, left their mark permanently and conspicuously on the Christian church. These were the Gnostics, …

More On Glowing Stones, John A. Tvedtnes
More On Glowing Stones, John A. Tvedtnes
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In July 1992 INSIGHTS reported the development of radioluminescent lights that resemble the shining stones used by the Jaredites (Ether 2:19-3:6; 6:2-3, 10). Made of a highly porous silica matrix called aerogel, these modern lights-whose life expectancy is 20 years-employ tritium gas to produce beta radiation that causes a phosphor such as zinc sulfide to glow.
Journal Looks At Enigmatic Tree Of Life Stone
Journal Looks At Enigmatic Tree Of Life Stone
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In the early 1950s archaeologist M. Wells Jakeman claimed that a carved stone monument unearthed in Izapa, Mexico, in 1941 depicted Lehi's vision of the tree of life as reported in the Book of Mormon. As is true for any archaeological find, the accuracy of that initial assessment of the stone dubbed Izapa Stela 5 will either stand or begin to fall in light of further evidence and study, though a definitive determination regarding the stela may simply not be possible.

John The Baptist And The Keys Of Baptism, John A. Tvedtnes
John The Baptist And The Keys Of Baptism, John A. Tvedtnes
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The Latter-day Saint concept of priesthood keys is not well documented in the Bible. A single passage has Jesus Christ promising to give Peter "the keys of the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 16:19), while the book of Revelation indicates that Christ held "the keys of hell and of death" and "the key of David" (Revelation 1:18; 3:7; see Isaiah 22:22). There is no mention of keys in connection with John the Baptist.
The Psalm Of Nephi As A Post-Lehi Document, John W. Welch
The Psalm Of Nephi As A Post-Lehi Document, John W. Welch
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Building on ideas presented in the last three FARMS newsletters, this update considers one example of how Nephi's small plates account reflects the time and circumstances in which it was written. Nephi's masterful meditation in 2 Nephi 4:16-35 becomes even more poignant and vivid if we recognize that this psalm was written while Nephi was feeling painfully vulnerable after losing his father.

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
"We all stand in need of constant nourishment for both body and spirit. The trouble is that we are not allowed to forget the hunger of the body; it will always remind you that you are in need of nourishment. .. We think the hunger of the mind can wait, but if we separate the mind and body, we nourish neither" (Approaching Zion, p. 530).
The Good Samaritan: A Type And Shadow Of The Plan Of Salvation
The Good Samaritan: A Type And Shadow Of The Plan Of Salvation
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
"The Good Samaritan: A Type and Shadow of the Plan of Salvation," by John W. Welch, is an insightful analysis of that well-known parable. Welch's research shows that since the early days of Christianity, the parable of the Good Samaritan was understood as an extensive allegory: the man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers represents mankind's fall from paradise into a world of sin. The Good Samaritan represents the Savior, who rescues the man left for dead by washing his wounds of sin away with wine, anointing him with oil, and taking him to an …
