The "Decapitation" Of Shiz, Gary M. Hadfield, John W. Welch
The "Decapitation" Of Shiz, Gary M. Hadfield, John W. Welch
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Ether 15:29-32 describes the gory end of the last Jaredite battle. Exhausted, Coriantumr propped himself up with his own sword, gathered his last ounce of strength, and "smote off the head of Shiz," his arch-rival who had fainted beside him from the loss of blood. The smitten Shiz then "raised upon his hands and fell; and after that he had struggled for breath, he died," and Coriantumr himself collapsed.

More than 300 people attended this year's F.A.R.M.S. banquet, held on October 13 at BYU. Noel Reynolds, F.A.R.M.S. president, gave a review of the past year and reported on plans for the future, and Kent Wallace received an award as the F.A.R.M.S. volunteer of the year for 1994. The members of the board of directors of the Foundation consider very valuable every opportunity to associate with and learn from some of the many individuals who provide invaluable support to F.A.R.M.S., and this gathering was no exception.

The Symbolism Of Eating And Drinking In The Book Of Mormon Is Explored
The Symbolism Of Eating And Drinking In The Book Of Mormon Is Explored
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In a recent article published in the latest issue of BYU Studies, Richard D. Rust of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill discusses images of eating and drinking (and the lack thereof) from the Book of Mormon and the ways in which these images are used to "define the essential nature of people, emphasize problems of survival, illustrate degradation, characterize social relationships, reinforce covenants, poetically define a hope for eternal life, and suggest a response to the book as a whole."
Elder Holland Bears Powerful Testimony Of The Keystone Of Our Religion
Elder Holland Bears Powerful Testimony Of The Keystone Of Our Religion
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
At the annual CES symposium at BYU, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, newly called member of the Quorum of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, highlighted several themes in the Book of Mormon and bore testimony of its truthfulness. He also spoke of his calling and of his experiences with President Hunter. Since many of our readers are seminary and institute teachers who were not able to attend the symposium, a transcript of this powerful address is available by using the order form in this issue of the F.A.R.M.S. newsletter.
Was There Leprosy Among The Nephites?, John L. Sorenson
Was There Leprosy Among The Nephites?, John L. Sorenson
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Speaking to the Nephites assembled at the temple in Bountiful, the risen Jesus Christ said, "Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous ... ? Bring them hither and I will heal them " (3 Nephi 17:7). Yet medical researchers do not believe that "leprosy" existed in ancient America. How can we resolve this apparent conflict between what the Book of Mormon describes and what modern researchers have concluded?

New Book Describes Efforts To Trace Lehi's Trail
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
No one has done as much to advance our understanding of Lehi's journey as have F.A.R.M.S. workers Warren and Michaela Aston. For more than a decade they have expended time, money, and great effort in searching the remote valleys and deserts of the Arabian peninsula for candidates for locations mentioned and described in the Book of Mormon. Now a very personal and moving account of their efforts has been published by Deseret Book, In the Footsteps of Lehi: New Evidence for Lehi's Journey across Arabia to Bountiful.

Metal Plates And The Book Of Mormon, William J. Hamblin
Metal Plates And The Book Of Mormon, William J. Hamblin
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In the past, critics of the Book of Mormon have attacked the alleged absurdity of the Book of Mormon having been written on golden plates and its claim of the existence of an early sixth century B.C. version of the Hebrew Bible written on brass plates. Today, however, critics almost universally admit that there are numerous examples of ancient writing on metal plates. Ironically, some critics now claim instead that knowledge of such plates was readily available in Joseph Smith's day. Hugh Nibley's 1952 observation seems quite prescient: "it will not be long before men forget that in Joseph Smith's …

New Book: Lds Scholars Explore The Nature And Significance Of Temples In Ancient And Modern Times
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Three essays by Hugh Nibley, all the papers presented at the 1993 F.A.R.M.S. annual symposium, other important temple papers, a keynote address by Elder Marion D. Hanks (former president of the Salt Lake Temple), striking illustrations by Michael Lyon (who illustrated Nibley's Temple and Cosmos)-these features and more make Temples of the Ancient World: Ritual and Symbolism one of the most significant volumes ever published on the temple. Never has one book contained so many original contributions by LDS scholars to our understanding of ancient temples and their modem counterparts.

New Paper Examines Facsimile 2
New Paper Examines Facsimile 2
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Facsimile 2 of the Pearl of Great Price is perhaps the most enigmatic aspect of the revelations and translations of Joseph Smith. In a paper recently delivered at the F.A.R.M.S. brown bag seminar (available on the order form), Michael D. Rhodes discussed numerous advances over the last two decades in our understanding of Egyptian materials that shed light on Facsimile 2, the Joseph Smith Hypocephalus. The paper contains a transcription, a transliteration, and a translation of the text, plus background on the nature and significance of hypocephali in ancient Egypt and a commentary on specific details of the Joseph Smith …
Evidence For Tents In The Book Of Mormon, John L. Sorenson
Evidence For Tents In The Book Of Mormon, John L. Sorenson
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
One of the minor points made in recent criticisms of the Book of Mormon is the claim that there is no evidence of a tent-making or tent-using tradition in Mesoamerica and no available material for making the tents that the Book of Mormon mentions. Actually, Mesoamericanist literature makes it clear that tents were in regular use by Aztec armies at the time of the Spanish conquest, and there is good reason to suppose that they were used by other peoples and in earlier times (including Nephite times) in Mesoamerica.

Nibley Teams Up With Brigham Young To Look At Politics, Education, Leadership, And The Environment
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
As those who have read much Brigham Young know, the combination of this pioneer prophet's insight, articulateness, and candor is little short of stunning. Nibley calls him a "monumental figure," perhaps (after Joseph Smith), the most prominent mind of his century.

Farms-Sponsored Researcher Searches For More Plant Evidence Of Voyages From India To America
Farms-Sponsored Researcher Searches For More Plant Evidence Of Voyages From India To America
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Assisted by a grant from the Foundation, Carl L. Johannessen, Emeritus Professor of Geography at the University of Oregon, is now in India with an assistant searching for sculptured images of sunflowers and other American crop plants. Their earlier studies documented that images of maize from the New World had been carved on temple sculptures in India dating to medieval times, centuries before the Spaniards and Portuguese could have carried the plant to Asia after A.O. 1500, as scholars commonly suppose (Johannessen and Parker, "Maize Ears Sculpted in 12th and 13th Century A.O. India as Indicators of Pre-Columbian Diffusion," Economic …
Revisiting The Land Of Jerusalem Via The Dead Sea Scrolls, Gordon C. Thomasson
Revisiting The Land Of Jerusalem Via The Dead Sea Scrolls, Gordon C. Thomasson
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
For over 160 years, beginning at least with the 1833 publication of Alexander Campbell's Delusions, countless critics have claimed that the Book of Mormon's use of the phrase "land of Jerusalem" was a major error and proof that the book was false. They especially criticized the use of this phrase in reference to the place where Christ would be born. That phrase was not used in the Bible nor in the Apocrypha. Therefore, the critics concluded, it was an example of Joseph Smith's ignorance and evidence that he had tried to perpetrate a fraud. (For a thorough overview of …
