Manager's Report
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies, federal tax identification number 95-3442860, was incorporated in 1979 . In July 1981, its newsletter circulation was 850; currently over 3,000 newsletters are mailed to 43 states and 17 foreign countries. To date, over 4,000 Reprints and Preliminary Reports have been distributed. Recent asset acquisitions include a multilith offset press . Last fiscal year 46 people made financial contributions to FARMS; this year 204 people have contributed. FARMS has four part-time employees.
Preliminary Reports
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
One of the Preliminary Reports offered with this issue is an examination of "International Relations and Treaties in the Book of Mormon'' by Mark Davis and Brent Israelsen. Their purpose is to identify ''principles of the law of nations'' in the Book of Mormon.
Reprints
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
One of the papers offered in this issues' Reprint Series is "Pre-Columbian Old World Coins in America: An Examination of the Evidence, '' by Jeremiah F. Epstein (Current Anthropology 21 [Feb. 1980]: 1-20). Epstein surveys the field of Old World coins dating to pre-Columbian times that have been found in the United States, particularly within the last three decades, to determine how seriously such items should be taken. If valid, the existence of such coins would obviously be a powerful argument for diffusionists.

The Book of Mormon Bibliography, an index of all serious studies about the Book of Mormon, should be ready for distribution this fall . It already contains over 1,850 entries. This monumental bibliography will be the first relatively comprehensive listing of articles, papers, book and theses dealing with the Book of Mormon. It will provide a solid base for the Book of Mormon Encyclopedia and facilitate other organized research on Book of Mormon topics as well as guide development of the FARMS Reprint series. It should also help prevent unnecessary duplication of research. When it is available, we hope many …

A critical edition of the Book of M:Jrrron may be a reality within a few months. FARMS has supplied Robert F. Smith sane materials needed to complete a critical text of the various editions of the Book of M:Jnnon. The annotated text will show each change which has teen made in the Book of Mormon from the first manuscript down to the newest edition. "Having an accurate text, of course, is an essential step in the scholarly study of the book," points out John Sorenson, "and Fob's unusual dedication and patience will make this significant contribution possible."

Nibley Temple Essay Reprinted
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
FARMS has reprinted (from volume 4 of the Collected Works of Hugh Nibley) an influential article by Nibley on the temple of ancient Israel, entitled "What Is a Temple?" The subheadings in the text give a sense of its content and emphases.
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.
Several Significant Historical And Anthropological Essays Of John Sorenson Gathered In Two New Volumes
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Nearly two dozen essays by John L. Sorenson, professor emeritus of anthropology at Brigham Young University, have been conveniently gathered into two paperback volumes by a Salt Lake publisher, New Sage Books. Some of these essays will be familiar to FARMS readers, but many will be new. Both collections can be obtained at a discount from FARMS using the enclosed order form.

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." Reynolds brought students and faculty up to date on the state of knowledge on authorship issues related to the Book of Mormon, drawing on the research of many LDS scholars presented in two books he has compiled on the subject, the first in 1982 entitled Book of Mormon Authorship: New Light on Ancient Origins, and the second published this year under the title Book of …
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.
