Early Lds Views Of Millennium
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
What did early Church members think about the end of the world and the ushering in of the Millennium? In The Millenarian World of Early Mormonism (University of Illinois Press), Grant Underwood examines how profoundly influenced the Church was by the view of an imminent second coming of Christ and millennial transformation of the earth. What makes this book of interest to FARMS readers is its detailed exploration of early Latter-day Saint understandings of the Bible and the Book of Mormon.
Madsen Inspires Fireside Attendees On Temple Worship
Madsen Inspires Fireside Attendees On Temple Worship
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Some 800 members of the Arcadia and Pasadena (California) stakes sat engrossed at a FARMS-sponsored fireside on 20 January 1995 as speaker Truman Madsen presented three questions about temple worship and the Atonement. First, if you knew that Christ himself was to minister unto you in the nearby temple, would you be there? Second, if you knew you could receive at the hands of the Savior a kind of patriarchal blessing for the rightful use of your human talents, would you be there? Third, how much will you give to receive God's all?

Old World People In The New? (Part 1), John L. Sorenson
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Joseph Smith is said, in 1842, to have "quoted with approval from the pulpit reports of certain Toltec legends which would make it appear that those people had come originally from the Near East in the time of Moses"; he did not connect the purported migration at all to the Book of Mormon.

1994 Updates Available
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
What the Dead Sea Scrolls reveal about the "land of Jerusalem"; the use of metal plates for writing in the ancient world; evidence for tents in ancient Mesoamerica; the lack of a library in Harmony, New York; and evidence that helps to make sense of the "decapitation" of Shiz - these are the topics illuminated in the 6 F.A.R.M.S.

Temple Sermons Are Focus Of Video Lecture
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Clark Johnson, professor of Church History and Doctrine at BYU, discusses "Temple Sermons in the Book of Mormon" as the next offering in the F.A.R.M.S. Book of Mormon Video Lecture Series (to order, see the reverse of this form) . He examines sermons given by Jacob, Benjamin, Limhi, and the Savior to Nephites gathered at a temple, analyzing each briefly to see how it teaches "the doctrine of the temple." He also discusses how each sermon relates to things that we experience and learn in our latter-day temples.
The Allegory Of The Olive Tree, Stephen D. Ricks, John W. Welch
The Allegory Of The Olive Tree, Stephen D. Ricks, John W. Welch
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The allegory of the olive tree in Jacob 5 is one of the most magnificent allegories in all of sacred literature. The essays in The Allegory of the Olive Tree examine this allegory and related topics from many perspectives, and in doing so they not only illuminate the meaning of this portion of the Book of Mormon, they also increase our understanding of much that is contained in the New Testament. The olive is a powerful image in the New Testament, and the efforts of these authors to understand that image and its use in the allegory shed light on …

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Over the years, many F.A.R.M.S. readers have called or written to ask questions about the Book of Mormon. As we have prepared answers, we have found that many questions are asked over and over again, and that publications attacking the Book of Mormon repeat the same criticisms over and over.

On The Right Or Left: Benjamin And The Scapegoat, Terrence L. Szink, John W. Welch
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Over the years, scholars have found in King Benjamin's speech much that is at home in the ancient Israelite autumn festivals surrounding the Day of Atonement. An essential part of that day was the scapegoat ritual.

Reprint Clarifies Issues On Geographies Focused On New York
Reprint Clarifies Issues On Geographies Focused On New York
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
A new FARMS Reprint makes available portions of three publications from the 1980s that retain their value for providing insights into Book of Mormon geography. In "A Key for Evaluating Nephite Geographies," reprinted from the first issue (1989) of the Review of Books on the Book of Mormon, John Clark elucidates what the Book of Mormon itself says that can be used to construct a basic framework for a Book of Mormon geography. He focuses especially on those references that give relative distances or directions between various locations. The resulting framework provides an excellent test for proposed geographies.

In an effort to spark interest in the Book of Mormon and to increase missionary endeavors, the Denver Stake sponsored a three-day Book of Mormon Symposium in September, ending on September 22 to commemorate the anniversary of the date Joseph Smith received the gold plates from the angel Moroni to begin the translation of the Book of Mormon.
Language Shifts Provide Evidence
Language Shifts Provide Evidence
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In a recently published article, "Dating the Book of Mormon to Pre-exilic Language Structure," Angela M. Crowell reports her findings from a study of language patterns. Crowell bases her findings on recent research about Classical Biblical Hebrew and Late Biblical Hebrew, the languages of Judah before and after the Babylonian exile in 586 B.C. Scholars have identified the books of Samuel and Kings as classic examples of preexilic writing. Because much of the same historical account is given in postexilic Chronicles, they can observe the change in language patterns and terminology that took place during the exile.

On 27 September, Professor Ninian Smart, an internationally recognized scholar of comparative religion and philosophy of religion from the University of California, Santa Barbara, visited Utah Valley to give a keynote address at a conference held at a nearby college. During his visit, Professor Smart met with FARMS Brown Bag attendees to discuss his experiences in the field of religious studies. He pointed out that it is increasingly a multidisciplinary field that makes greater demands on those who study it. In particular he discussed the need for scholars in religious studies to gain an empathetic perspective on the subject they …

Terms For Ancient Places
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The terminology that we use to refer to long lost lands and cultures can be confusing. For example, the October FARMS Update (number 108) referred to Mesopotamia in the cultural sense rather than in a geographic sense - ancient Ebla was at various times within the cultural sphere of Mesopotamia but is not part of the geographic area usually referred to as Mesopotamia. Even the geographic sense is ambiguous; some reputable reference works (perhaps the majority) use Mesopotamia to refer to the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, while others extend the area considered to be part of …

New Technology And Ancient Questions, John L. Sorenson
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The potential of advanced scientific techniques for giving us new information about ancient history has sometimes been overhyped, yet real advantages are becoming apparent. Interestingly, however, the findings are more likely to produce fascinating and useful new questions than to settle old ones neatly.

Farms Grant Will Support Excavation In Guatemala

FARMS has joined three other foundations in making a grant to support the excavation of an ancient Maya city, Piedras Negras, located on the banks of the Usumacinta River in Guatemala. The FARMS grant will allow the excavation team, led by Stephen Houston (Brigham Young University) and Hector Escobedo (San Carlos University), to extend their work into the southern sector of the site, where they hope to unearth portions of an early temple summit, a palace, and a ritual purification building to learn more about urban life in an early Mesoamerican city.
