New Evidence For Date Of Christ's Birth
New Evidence For Date Of Christ's Birth
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Between the birth of Christ and the death of Herod there was a lunar eclipse. Attempts to date Christ's birth have involved trying to establish the date of this eclipse. For many years it has been believed that the eclipse occurred on March 13, 4 B.C., which would place Christ's birth in either 5 or 6 B.C.

New Work On Book Of Mormon Geography
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
John Sorenson has completed a major work on a topic of long-time interest to Latter-day Saint readers of the Book of Mormon.

Building Bridges
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In 1986 Roger R. Keller, a former Presbyterian minister, published his Reformed Christians and Mormon Christians: Let's Talk. The book lays a foundation for helping Protestants and Latter-day Saints discover the overlapping precepts of their convictions in Christ. Chapter 5 is on the Book of Mormon and the concept of scripture. The book is offered at a discount at this time through the generosity of Truman Madsen, a longtime member of the F.A.R.M.S. advisory board.

Sherem's Accusations Against Jacob
Sherem's Accusations Against Jacob
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
An interesting encounter is reported in Jacob 7 between Sherem and Jacob. In light of the ancient Israelite criminal law that was in force among the Nephites at this time and at least to the reforms of Mosiah (2 Ne. 5:10; Jarom 1:5; Mosiah 17:7-8; Alma 1:17), it is evident that Sherem's accusations were serious allegations. On three accounts, he accused Jacob of offenses punishable by death.

Book Of Mormon Educator Passes Away
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Eldin Ricks, professor emeritus of Ancient Scripture at BYU, who was a friend of F.A.R.M.S. and a tireless advocate of the Book of Mormon, passed away last month. In our last newsletter we reported his generosity in donating copies of his wide-margin edition of the Book of Mormon to F.A.R.M.S. to make it more widely available---a good example of his efforts on behalf of the scriptures (and their Author). We will miss him.

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
F.A.R.M.S. would like to announce the creation of an electronic discussion group for ancient studies and Mormon scripture called MORM-ANT (Mormonism and Antiquity).

The topics for discussion in this group will be as wide-ranging as the interests of its participants, but generally reflecting the research goals and interests of F.A.R.M.S.
Expedition To Arabia Postponed
Expedition To Arabia Postponed
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The F.A.R.M.S. expedition to the Wadi Sayq has been postponed by the Omani government because of sensitive negotiations between Oman and Yemen that concern territory near Wadi Sayq. However, the Omanis seem interested in a scholarly study of the wadi, so we are optimistic that the expedition will be rescheduled for the first part of January.

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.

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
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 …
