The Prophetic Book Of Mormon, Volume 8 In The Nibley Collected Works, Is Now Available
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
For Hugh Nibley, the Book of Mormon is prophetic in every sense of the word. It was written by prophets and about prophets. It was foreseen by prophets and foresees our day. It is a book brought forth by prophetic gifts for prophetic purposes. It speaks in a clarion voice with words of counsel to those who would survive the last days.

Inscriptions Support Transoceanic Contact
Inscriptions Support Transoceanic Contact
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
John Sorenson recently joined other scholars in examining ancient inscriptions in southeastern Colorado that appear to be written in Ogam, a language known chiefly from Ireland in medieval times. While claims for the authenticity of ancient inscriptions in west European or North African writing systems allegedly found in many parts of North America have been rejected by most archaeologists because of the flawed evidence put forward to support the claims, these particular inscriptions are unusually impressive and cannot be dismissed as modern fakes.

In 1889 a representative of the U.S. Bureau of American Ethnology excavated a small inscribed stone from an undisturbed burial mound in eastern Tennessee. He claimed that the signs on it were from the Cherokee Indian writing system invented about 1821. It was supposed at that time that these mounds were built in the centuries since European colonists had arrived.

At the invitation of John Sorenson, Dr. David Palmer and Mexican associates will examine a small area just east of the Coatzacoalcos River near the Gulf of Mexico where one or more archaeological ruins are thought to exist (remains have been re ported informally). Sorenson proposed in An Ancient American Setting for the Book of Mormon that the city of Bountiful where the Savior visited was possibly located about there.

Reprints And Preliminary Reports
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Does the Book of Mormon stand alone when it says that Jesus taught important gospel messages after his resurrection? "No," answers Hugh Nibley, as he surveys the "40 day literature" in his 1966 article entitled Evangelium Quadraginta Dierum. Although modern biblical scholars tend to discount the early Christian accounts of the post-resurrection ministry of the Savior, Nibley argues for a literal, historical interpretation. From this, an interesting perspective on 3 Nephi can emerge.

Nephi's Arrows Create Solid Bulls-Eye, Joseph Fielding Smith
Nephi's Arrows Create Solid Bulls-Eye, Joseph Fielding Smith
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Three times in 1 Nephi 16 we are told that Nephi broke his steel bow. Never does it say that he broke any arrows. Yet when Nephi makes a new wooden bow, the text also says that he made "out of a straight stick, an arrow." (1 Ne. 16:23). Why would he need to make new arrows when he apparently still had a quiver full of old ones?

Jewish Festivals In Zarahemla
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The recent discovery of evidence in the Book of Alma of an observance of a Feast of Passover is likely to be remembered as one of the most significant finds of the year. On August 15, a good sized group met at a special F.A.R.M.S. research meeting. The discussion was led by Gordon Thomasson. The purpose was to rethink many Book of Mormon passages in light of ancient Israelite festivals, and some very striking results emerged.
