A New Home For Farms, Noel B. Reynolds
A New Home For Farms, Noel B. Reynolds
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
About a year ago, Richard Winwood, recently returned mission president and strong FARMS supporter, was visiting the FARMS office to discuss some future projects. After an hour or so discussing a long list of proposed projects, he bluntly announced that FARMS's ability to fulfill its mission was being compromised by the limitations of its physical facilities.

Lavish Photo Book Documents Lds Life
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Time Warner has just published a beautiful book of photographs that gives the world a glimpse into the lives and beliefs of Latter-day Saints. The Mission contains the work of fifty world-class photographers who traveled extensively around the world in the course of a year, documenting the people, history, culture, rituals, and beliefs of the global Church. It was produced with considerable cooperation from the Church and includes a preface written by President Gordon B. Hinckley. It is remarkably accurate for a work by outsiders and its tone is sympathetic to the beliefs and life-styles of members, reflecting no doubt …
Brown Bags Continue
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
Rocks, radar, and writers--these have been the topics of the most recent presentations at the FARMS brown bag seminar at BYU. John L. Sorenson, professor emeritus of Anthropology at BYU, spoke about writers, or more accurately, about the authorship of the Book of Mormon. He pointed out that Joseph Smith apparently thought that the Book of Mormon applied to all of North and South America, yet the book fits only a limited Mesoamerican setting. If Joseph had made up the setting or used what he knew about the world, it would not have matched so well a part of the …

Benjamin's Tower And Old Testament Pillars, John W. Welch, Terry L. Szink
Benjamin's Tower And Old Testament Pillars, John W. Welch, Terry L. Szink
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
While scholars are uncertain about the precise nature of the ammud (see August 1995 Insights), it is clear that it was something other than a pillar. Roland deVaux imagines the king "standing on a pedestal" where presumably he worshipped God. Gerhard von Rad, commenting on the pillars in 2 Kings, sees them as some kind of high, narrow platform.
Review Continues Picks And Pans, Larry K. Smith
Review Continues Picks And Pans, Larry K. Smith
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The most highly recommended item in the latest Review of Books on the Book of Mormon (volume 7, number 2) is not a single book but a resource library of books on CD-ROM, the LDS Collectors Edition from Infobases. Editor Daniel Peterson gives it three stars (out of a possible four stars) for its usefulness to the student of the scriptures, and reviewer Larry K. Smith calls it a "quantum leap forward" for study and research on the scriptures and related topics because it brings together such a large quantity of good books at such a low price (less than …
Elder L. Tom Perry Examines The Personalities Involved In The Translation Of The Book Of Mormon And In The Restoration Of The Church
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In his address to the friends and supporters of FARMS at the Foundation's 1995 annual banquet, Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve expressed his interest in the human chemistry found in organizations and examined the early history of the Church from this perspective. He spoke of the challenges that Joseph Smith faced as a young husband with a skeptical father-in-law who thought Joseph should be doing something more productive than sitting around the house translating golden plates. He reflected on the challenges that Martin Harris faced in helping to finance the work on the Book of …

Farms Distribution Center Has Moved
Farms Distribution Center Has Moved
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
With the increased pace of operations, FARMS has outgrown its offices in Amanda Knight Hall, so the distribution center and operations offices have been moved into a house converted into offices at 551 East 870 North in Provo, just west of the BYU Health Center. To reach the house by car, turn north onto 500 East off of 800 North (see the map). It is most easily reached on foot from campus by walking south on the sidewalk just east of the Widstoe building, crossing Campus Drive, going down the steps toward the west end of the Health Center, and …

An increasing workload in the publishing division of the Foundation has led to the hiring of two new full-time editors in the last few months. Stephanie Terry has joined FARMS as Associate Editor. Before coming to FARMS, she worked for six years on the staff of Foreign Policy magazine, a quarterly that is one of the top journals in the field of international relations.
Joseph's Translation Seems To Differ From Kjv Usage, Terrence L. Szink
Joseph's Translation Seems To Differ From Kjv Usage, Terrence L. Szink
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In Mosiah 1:14, King Benjamin reminds his son Mosiah that if the Lord "had not extended his arm in the preservation of our fathers they must have fallen into the hands of the Lamanites." The English words used in this translation of the ancient record differ from those used for the same concepts in the English translation in the King James Version (KJV) of the Old Testament, thus shedding light on how independent Joseph Smith may have been from KJV phraseology in his translation.

The unique and productive relationship that Brigham Young University and the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies have enjoyed for nearly fifteen years has recently been elevated to a new level of cooperation.

This year marks the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Sidney B. Sperry, an individual who did much ground-breaking work in the study of the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon. In honor of that occasion, and to make Sperry's writing more available to a new generation of Book of Mormon students, the Journal of Book of Mormon Studies has devoted its Spring issue to printing some of his essays that are out of print, hard to find, or never before published.
Upon The Tower Of Benjamin, John W. Welch, Terry L. Szink
Upon The Tower Of Benjamin, John W. Welch, Terry L. Szink
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
When King Benjamin crowned his son Mosiah, all the people in Zarahemla sat in tents around the temple while Benjamin addressed them. Because he "could not teach them all within the walls of the temple, therefore he caused a tower to be erected, that thereby his people might hear the words which he should speak unto them" (Mosiah 2:7). Was the need to improve the acoustics the only reason for the construction of this tower? Recent research has discovered ancient precedents for the use of such "towers" in royal convocations and coronation ceremonies. These biblical and Jewish precedents are not …

This year's theme, "Isaiah in the Book of Mormon," inspired presentations in areas as diverse as textual analysis, doctrinal exposition, manuscript transmission, imagery and poetics, word print studies, and intellectual history.

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
For nearly thirty years, H. Donl Peterson, a member of the Religious Education faculty at BYU, pursued solutions to the puzzles surrounding the papyri from which the book of Abraham was translated. His final book, The Story of the Book of Abraham: Mummies, Manuscripts, and Mormonism, completed just before his death in March 1994, aims to answer some of the questions surrounding the second and perhaps most controversial book of the Pearl of Great Price.

The American Biblical Manuscript Center in Claremont, California, and the University of Judaism in West Los Angeles invited Royal Skousen, professor of English at BYU, to present a lecture in March on the Book of Mormon Critical Text Project. Skousen's lecture, entitled "Fragments from the American Dead Sea: Reconstructing the Original Text of the Book of Mormon," addressed recent findings from the Wilford Wood fragments of the original Book of Mormon manuscript, non-English Hebraisms in the English language Book of Mormon text, and implications for New Testament textual criticism based on these and other recent findings. Skousen's lecture was one …
