Perils of publishing (and my do-it-your-self guide to forgery)

Last updated on: September 26, 2012 at 7:06 pm By gwesley

So it looks like the fragment is not going to be published, at least not now and not in Harvard Theological Review. Why not? If it is because of the ethical question, better late than never I suppose. But hasn’t whatever damage already been done there? If it is because of the question of forgery, still why not publish? Questions of forgery were hanging and have continued to hang in the air around any number of material objects said to... Read more

Not convinced this scrap is a forgery, and let’s give Morton Smith some credit

Last updated on: September 23, 2012 at 9:54 am By gwesley

Backlash against news of the Coptic papyrus fragment now known as the Gospel of Jesus’ Wife did not take long. There is the ethical question: does publishing (on) a text that appears to have been removed from Egypt illegally and separated from its archaeological context, including the rest of the manuscript, due to ignorance and/or greed, not promote more of the same? I think this is the truly compelling question, and it is one that I have to ask myself.... Read more

10 Changes If I Were In Charge of LDS Scripture…

Last updated on: September 10, 2012 at 11:59 am By TT

1. I would change the layout of the LDS scriptures to create paragraphs and sections that look like modern study Bibles. 2. I would make prophetic oracles and poetry appear differently from prose on the page. (I would strongly consider moving to a single column of text instead of two.) 3. I would adopt almost all of the appendices at the end of Hardy’s Reader’s Edition of the Book of Mormon as well as the notes for names for both... Read more

Scripture Mastery Context(s) Series: Jeremiah 16:16 – Should Missionaries be Hunting & Fishing?

Last updated on: September 10, 2012 at 1:56 pm By MormonDeadhead

“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks” (Jer 16:16 KJV) Seminary instructors, both full-time and volunteer, have urged countless students to commit this verse to memory in an effort to show that: “In the last days the Lord will send missionaries to gather Israel.”...

And so another Labor Day comes, bringing the end to summer. May the next summer bring more jobs to those who need them, and some recovery to the household income of those who do have jobs! Now, back to the BoM. I have been wandering around in the BoM looking, from the perspective of a reader of the NT, at how the BoM uses the biblical text. Those who’ve been around for a bit know that sometimes there’s no change... Read more

The Jacob (pseud)epigraphon in the book of Alma

Last updated on: August 24, 2012 at 12:50 pm By gwesley

I have no idea how many Mormons there are in biblical and related studies. It’s a very small percentage, I’m sure. But they and Mormonism were nicely included in the two volume reference work, The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha. A Mormon scholar wrote the entry on the Testament of Adam, and Mormons in general are listed on the back cover (easily accessible here) along with Christians, Jews, and Muslims, as ‘people of the book.’ This was due entirely to the magnanimity...

Abraham in Egypt, in Persia

Last updated on: August 27, 2012 at 8:48 pm By TT

In a recent article by John Gee, “An Egyptian View of Abraham,” in Bountiful Harvest: Essays in Honor of S. Kent Brown, Andrew Skinner, et al., eds. (NAMI, Provo: BYU Press, 2012) 137-56, Gee provides a fresh edition of a pair of Sahidic Coptic manuscripts about Abraham. The updated text and new translation are useful for scholars, though the offering is less than a critical edition because it is not clear from his presentation that he has consulted the original manuscripts....

Need some inspiration for school, whether you yourself are just starting out, returning for yet another year, or you are going to be teaching the next group of collegiate hopefuls? Look no further than Sidney Rigdon’s address to the Nauvoo Library and Literary Institute, 1844 (you can read the complete record of the NLLI here in Jones’ edition): Elder S Rigdon then took the floor and remarked that as it was getting late he did not feel as though he...
