Forms Of Nephite Laws Considered
Forms Of Nephite Laws Considered
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Ancient Near Eastern and Biblical laws were written according to certain stylistic conventions. Two such formal aspects of ancient law have recently been used to sharpen our understanding of Nephite law as well. In "Series of Laws in the Book of Mormon," John W. Welch examines ten significantly consistent law lists from which one can reconstruct a fairly clear picture of the underlying Nephite law code and its relationship to the Code of the Covenant in Exodus 20-23.
Why Did Nephi Write 1 Nephi?
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Nephi's primary stated purpose for writing the book of 1 Nephi was "to persuade men to come unto God" (1 Ne. 6:4). In addition, his writings served several other unstated purposes, as Noel B. Reynolds demonstrates in "The Political Dimensions of Nephi 's Small Plates." Nephi was the fourth son in his family, and, as such, he was not entitled to the rights of leadership and ownership belonging to the eldest son.

Warfare In The Book Of Mormon
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Matthew Hilton's lengthy study, "Preliminary Summary of Nephite Armed Conflict in the Book of Mormon," outlines and abstracts virtually every event and passage-and then some-dealing in any way with warfare. The paper is chronologically arranged and is designed strictly as a reference tool.

Study Of Hebrew Poetry Expands
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Angela Crowell has published a multifaceted study of Hebrew poetry in the Book of Mormon, now available as reprint CRW-86. It originally appeared in the Zarahemla Record. This article gives scores of examples illustrating dozens of stylistic patterns and devices known to Bible scholars and also occurring in the Book of Mormon. This contribution not only deepens our reading and appreciation of the scripture, it also demonstrates the frequent subtlety and great complexity of the record.

More Nibley
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
"Last Call: An Apocalyptic Warning from the Book of Mormon," is an article based on a talk given by Nibley at the 1986 Sunstone Symposium in Salt Lake City. It is a call to modern society to learn from examples in the Book of Mormon. He stresses the fact that the Book of Mormon was written to the people of our time and that Mormons as well as gentiles must repent.

Wordprint Analysis In The Book Of Mormon
Wordprint Analysis In The Book Of Mormon
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
"Since the advent of modern programmable high speed computers, a new science of computer assisted literary 'stylometry' or 'wordprinting' has been developing. By statistically analyzing the small non-contextual word patterns of a disputed document, it is now possible to test which suspected authors did not write a given work," reports John L. HIiton.
Lehi's Ocean Voyage
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

Nephi's Vision And The Revelation Of John
Nephi's Vision And The Revelation Of John
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
''The revelations of Nephi and of John have more in common . .. than merely the apocalyptic form, for Nephi's vision anticipates that of John. The two are complementary, centering in part on the same characters and themes: the Lamb and his Church, the Apostasy, the great and abominable church of the devil, and the restoration of the gospel in the latter days," asserts Stephen E. Robinson in "Early Christianity and 1 Nephi 13-14" and 'Warring Against the Saints of God."
Who Wrote The Title Page?
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Daniel Ludlow has taken a careful look at the title page of the Book of Mormon in his Paper ''The Title Page." Examining title pages in all major editions of the Book of Mormon, he compares printing history, wording, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. He also has studied how the original paragraphing and punctuation were added by a typesetter.

Since Cumorah
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
"Since its first printing in 1967, Since Cumorah has been a classic in Book of Mormon scholarship, and its significance has not decreased with the years," says John W. Welch. "We are pleased to offer this expanded volume to a new generation of Book of Mormon students. This long popular book examines the Book of Mormon in light of the discoveries at Qumran, Nag-Hammadi, and throughout the ancient world. It's Nibley at his best, challenging many traditional scholarly assumptions and opening avenues of inquiry regarding the Book of Mormon and its present-day implications."

Farms In The News
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
F.A.R.M.S. has two orientations: One is to do the academic scriptural research; another is to distribute those results as widely and inexpensively as possible. The recent addition of Sue Bergin to the F.A.R.M.S. staff as Coordinator of Public Relations has enhanced that second effort immensely. Like most people working with the Foundation, Sue puts in long hours as a volunteer because of her love for the scriptures.

This sacred volume has figured remarkably, and miraculously, in the profound spiritual experiences of thousands of people. "This aspect of the Book of Mormons' presence needs to be recorded," says Don Norton, Professor of English at BYU, who specializes in helping people write their personal histories.
Farms Tours
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The F.A.R.M.S. June 1984 Tour to Guatemala and Southern Mexico was the finest Book of Mormon travel experience offered that year. The 1985 tour, departing June 17, for 16 days, will be even better. This unique tour focuses on those sites most likely occupied by Book of Mormon people. The itinerary is spectacular.

A Day And A Half's Journey For A Nephite
A Day And A Half's Journey For A Nephite
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The narrow neck of land is an important geographical feature in the Book of Mormon. For many years people have debated whether the narrow neck was the Isthmus of Panama, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Southern Mexico, or somewhere else. Some have argued that the neck must have been very narrow, because Alma 22:32 says that the distance across the "narrow neck" of the promised land from the east to the west sea was "a day and a half's journey for a Nephite." But how wide could this distance have been? Recently analyzed information suggests that it could have been …
