Popular Novelist Asks, "Is The Book Of Mormon Fake?"
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Orson Scott Card is a name familiar to fans of science fiction and to many readers of LDS fiction and drama. It is no secret that Card has based many of his works on themes from the Book of Mormon. In 1993 Card spoke at BYU about the Book of Mormon, and his remarks have been published as the first chapter in his book A Storyteller in Zion.

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Professor Geza Vermes, a prominent Dead Sea Scrolls scholar from England, gave a lecture at BYU in November sponsored by Religious Education, the Kennedy Center, and FARMS. He spoke on messiah texts in the scrolls and reviewed the history of the scrolls' discovery and translation. He also spoke of the tangled politics both among scrolls scholars and between those scholars and the public.

New Name, New Organization, But Same High Quality Found In Latest Issue Of Review
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The Review of Books on the Book of Mormon, published by FARMS since 1989, has attempted to assist students of the Book of Mormon by reviewing every significant publication about the Book of Mormon published each year. While that commitment remains unchanged, the focus of the reviews published in the last several issues has expanded to match the expanding interests of FARMS - first, the Book of Mormon, and then other ancient scripture and related topics; thus the name of the Review has been changed to the FARMS Review of Books to more accurately reflect this expanded focus.

By Land Or By Sea? Revisiting The Bering Straits, Allen J. Christenson
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Traditionally, most anthropologists have accepted the theory that the ancestors of all native American cultures in the New World migrated by foot from Asia during the Pleistocene Era when the sea level was lower and a narrow strip of land called the Bering Land Bridge connected the two continents. But as a review in the latest issue of BYU Studies shows, Dr. E. James Dixon, in Quest for the Origins of the First Americans, challenges this traditional model.

Manager's Report
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The first Newsletter announced the ambitious goal of raising $20,000 by June 30, 1981. For practical purposes that goal has been reached, culminated by recent donations of an IBM typewriter and a small computer system . The computer, a TRS-80 system with 48K capacity, includes CPU, expansion interface, monitor, two disc drives, printer and custom desk. It was the gift of Terry Jeffers, a director in the Howard Ruff organization. FARMS will use it to keep the mailing list straight -- now grown to over a thousand names -- and for indexing papers, notes, bibliographies and research projects.

Robert F. Smith, "It Came to Pass' in the Bible and Book of Mormon." Manuscript, 1980. Pointing out that computer analysis will be necessary to make his observations conclusive, the author shows that the Book of Mormon, though less than a third the length of the King James Bible, contains more than twice as many recurrences of "came/come to pass." Furthermore, extensive cataloguing shows that all but three of the twenty books containing that phrase in the Bible are in the Old Testament. Another interesting characteristic: the phrase usually occurs in prose narrative, in both volumes of scripture. He explains …

Research Committee Reports
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
FARMS is organized around research committees who largely determine the Foundation's program . The first fully-staffed committee is the twelve person panel on Book of Mormon-New World, chaired by John Sorenson. Its duties include evaluating research projects for technical adequacy, noting approaches or topics which might be fruitfully pursued, reporting on relevant research presented at professional meetings, responding to inquiries in their area of expertise, and otherwise serving as a panel of helpful scholarly resources . An evaluative and scholarly arm, not an administrative entity, the group's members vary in degree of involvement according to the time they feel they …

Projects described in the November 1980 newsletter continue, meanwhile here we spotlight another challenging research activity. John Hilton of Walnut Creek, California, has long had an interest in Book of Mormon studies. But his main talent is talking to computers -- and getting answers. He and his (non-Mormon) collaborator, Kenneth D. Jenkins, have access to a large computer complex during many hours per day . It's already ingested the modern and 1830 texts of the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, and the King James version of the Bible, thanks to the cooperation of …

A trio of papers on the so-called "Lehi's Cave" near Jerusalem begins with a short paper by Lamar C. Barrett summarizing what is known about the cave, usefully introducing a topic where speculation and folklore have multiplied . Joseph Naveh's paper from the Israel Exploration Journal (1963) describes the discovery of the cave and its contents and gives a proposed translation of the inscriptions scratched on the wall. It was obviously a burial cave since it contains three funerary benches but no riches or treasures. The inscriptions, he postulates, were done at different times and include the very unusual figures …
