A Note On The Name Nephi, John Gee
A Note On The Name Nephi, John Gee
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The opening words of the Book of Mormon, "I, Nephi" (1 Nephi 1:10), raise an interesting issue: Are the "personal names contained in the story ... satisfactory for that period and region"? While an answer to that issue for all the names in the Book of Mormon still awaits investigation, we seem to be in a position to comment on the authenticity of the name Nephi.

Book News
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Those of you who ordered copies of Temple and Cosmos should have received your orders by now. Manufacturing problems experienced by Deseret Book delayed the release of this new volume in the Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, but we think you will agree that the final product was worth the wait. Already we are receiving enthusiastic comments about the quality of the illustrations and the depth of Nibley's analysis. If early trends are any indication, this should be one of the most popular volumes in the series.

New Bibliographies Help Answer Questions About Animals And Metals In The Book Of Mormon
New Bibliographies Help Answer Questions About Animals And Metals In The Book Of Mormon
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The Book of Mormon mentions animals and metals that do not seem to fit into the conventional scholarly view of animals and metals in the New World. Two new study aids prepared by John L. Sorenson and available through F.A.R.M.S. provide information that will help students of the Book of Mormon examine and perhaps resolve these problems.
The Decline Of The God Quetzalcoatl At Teotihuacan, John L. Sorenson
The Decline Of The God Quetzalcoatl At Teotihuacan, John L. Sorenson
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Some Latter-day Saints have long been struck with the similarity between certain characteristics of the god Quetzalcoatl, as known from native traditions in Mexico and Guatemala, and Jesus Christ, whose visit to Lehi's descendants is described in Third Nephi. In the book, An Ancient American Setting for the Book of Mormon (1985), the dramatic decline of the god Quetzalcoatl in the period around A.D. 200 at the giant city of Teotihuacan near Mexico City was discussed in comparison with Fourth Nephi. The book relied on a study by Mexican scholar Enrique Fiorescano ("Quetzalcoatl: espiritualismo del Mexico antiguo," Cuadernos Americanos 105/4 …

Farms-Sponsored Team Will Examine Arabian Site
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
A team of researchers, sponsored jointly by BYU and F.A.R.M.S., will examine a likely site for Old World Bountiful, where Nephi's family built the boat that carried them to their promised land. Over the last few years, Warren and Michaela Aston have surveyed the coast of southern Arabia for possible sites for Bountiful. Their research has identified a site at Wadi Sayq as the most likely candidate, matching in great detail the criteria that the Astons have identified from the account in the Book of Mormon.

Farms-Sponsored "Chicken Project" Will Be Published Soon
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
A 1989 F.A.R.M.S. research grant to Dr. George F. Carter of Texas A&M University has yielded a book manuscript entitled Sacrificial Birds of the American Southwest: Chicken, Eagle, Turkey, Macaw, which is being considered for publication by a university press. Some of the ideas discussed by the eight (non-LDS) contributors are significant in relation to the Book of Mormon's report of voyages across the oceans from the Old to the New World.

New Light On The Shining Stones Of The Jaredites, Nicholas Read, Jae R. Ballif, John W. Welch, Bill Evenson, Kathleen Reynolds, Matt Roper
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The preparation of light sources for the Jaredite barges has long been an enigma to Book of Mormon readers. The Lord indicated the impracticality of using normal sources of light, saying, "Ye cannot have windows, for they will be dashed in pieces; neither shall ye take fire with you, for ye shall not go by the light of fire. . . . Therefore what will ye that I should prepare for you that ye may have light?" (Ether 2:23, 25).

The May 1992 issue of BYU Today carried a very good summary of the project that Royal Skousen, professor of English at BYU, is conducting to produce a critical text of the Book of Mormon. The main purposes of this project are to establish the original English language text of the Book of Mormon, to the extent that it can be discovered, and to determine the history of the text-in particular, the changes that the text has undergone, both editorial and accidental.

A Reader Notes An Expression That Is Unique To Nephi
A Reader Notes An Expression That Is Unique To Nephi
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Richard Rust, professor of English at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, whose research has been published by F.A.R.M.S. in the past, has noticed phraseology that is unique to individual Book of Mormon prophets. He writes to F.A.R.M.S. that the phrase "my soul delighteth" appears to be unique to Nephi. It is a beautiful expression, which Nephi uses ten times: for example, "my soul delighteth in the scriptures" (2 Nephi 4:15); "my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord" (2 Nephi 4:16); "my soul delighteth in proving unto my people the truth of the coming of Christ" …

Books Focus On Ancient Mesoamerican Civilizations
Books Focus On Ancient Mesoamerican Civilizations
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
New editions of two books, available at a discount from F.A.R.M.S., provide a scholarly yet readable introduction to civilization in the area where most of the events of the Book of Mormon probably took place. Both books were written by Michael D. Coe, Professor of Anthropology at Yale University. Although not written from an LDS perspective, these books provide the serious student of the Book of Mormon some very valuable background information. Both books also contain a large number of excellent photographs, maps, and line drawings, which make them not only informative to read but a pleasure to browse.
