Bad news indeed

Last updated on: May 13, 2013 at 5:39 pm By William Hamblin

Columbia University sued for misappropriations of donations, as observed by John Gee. http://fornspollfira.blogspot.com/2013/05/another-academic-scandal.html It is puzzling why university administrators think they can get away with such things. I suspect it is because they often do. Read more

N T Wright on Paul

Last updated on: May 7, 2013 at 5:26 pm By William Hamblin

His new book won’t be out until November, but is should be his magnum opus on the topic: N. T. Wright, Paul and the Faithfulness of God, 2 vols. Fortress, 2013. ISBN-13: 978-0800626839 I suspect they will have copies available at SBL, and I hope to get one there. N. T. Wright’s reading of Paul is very compatible with LDS understandings, but often gives Evangelicals fits. Read more

Bracketing Truth Claims?

Last updated on: April 24, 2013 at 12:20 pm By William Hamblin

There is a lot of talk among Mormon scholars about bracketing truth claims regarding the historicity of the Book of Mormon. This immediately leads to the question: why would one want to bracket truth claims? The answer is generally that we can understand a particular part of Mormonism better by bracketing truth claims about other parts of Mormonism. We can also engage in more fruitful dialogue with non-Mormons if we bracket certain Mormon truth claims in our discussions with them.... Read more

Is the Bible literature?

Last updated on: April 22, 2013 at 7:00 pm By William Hamblin

The question of the significance of the study of scripture as literature has been discussed a bit on the blogernacle lately, and I’d like to offer a couple more thoughts on the subject. The term literature derives from the Latin littera, meaning technically, a “letter of the alphabet,” but more generally “things composed of letters,” or simply written texts. (We sometimes still use the term “letters” in the academy to refer to literature, drama, poetry, etc.) At that level of... Read more
