Nibley Temple Essay Reprinted
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

Paul's Detention Site In Israel Believed Found
Paul's Detention Site In Israel Believed Found
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Reuters reports that archaeologists in Israel have uncovered a Roman governmental complex in Caesarea where they believe Paul was held in detention. In Acts 23-26 we read that Paul was kept in Herod's judgment hall in Caesarea, where he faced in turn Felix, Festus, and Agrippa and where he appealed to be sent before Caesar's judgment seat in Rome. An inscription found in the site indicates that the complex housed the government bureau responsible for internal security for Judea, making this complex the likely spot for Paul's incarceration and hearing before the Roman governor.

Hebraic Elements In The Language Of The Book Of Mormon, Royal Skousen
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Recent research has yielded another interesting clue about the language of the Nephites and about the manner in which it was translated into English. By comparing the original manuscript of the Book of Mormon to the subsequent printed versions, Royal Skousen has found that the original English-language text of the Book of Mormon contained expressions that are uncharacteristic of English. One such expression is a Hebrew-like conditional clause.

On 27 May 1997, Noel B. Reynolds, president of FARMS and professor of political science at BYU, presented an address at a BYU Forum Assembly. His topic: "The Authorship of the Book of Mormon."

The Debate Over Biblical Archaeology, John Tvedtnes
The Debate Over Biblical Archaeology, John Tvedtnes
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
There are two major camps among archaeologists studying biblical lands. The so-called "minimalists" tend to accept only a bare minimum of information from the Bible as historical fact, while the "maximalists," believe that much of it (although not all) is real history. The latter point to archaeological evidence such as the recently discovered eighth-century B.C. inscription mentioning "the house of David." The minimalists dismiss this and a number of other finds inscribed with biblical names as forgeries planted for archaeologists to discover.

The Sobering Lesson Of The Grolier Codex, John L. Sorenson, John W. Welch
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
T he story of the authenticating of the Grolier Codex twenty-five years ago still teaches some valuable lessons about the dangers of jumping to conclusions and the problems of name-calling, even though the scholars involved no longer hold to their original positions. As, discussed recently by John L. Sorenson, the discovery of ancient manuscripts is a touchy issue that, for some people, can be unsettling.
