Out of the Best Books- Talking about (Bible) Commentaries at Institute

Last updated on: July 30, 2010 at 1:43 pm By benspackman

I’ve been teaching a lightly-attended Institute class this summer, on scripture study. We’ve talked a lot about techniques and tools; last night we covered commentaries. The following comes from the handout and discussion. What’s a commentary? Generally speaking, a commentary is an extended analysis of some other text, whether the Bible, Book of Mormon, a Shakespeare play, the tax code, etc. A commentary’s purpose is to clarify, expound, explain or interpret the text. At right is a traditional Talmud page,... Read more

Eyes to See

Last updated on: July 16, 2010 at 1:53 pm By emilyu

Is seeing something that just happens when light hits your retina, or is it a mental process? In two books I recently read, scientists describe what it’s like to see things, and they describe it as more than a simple sensory function. For example, William Herschel, an astronomer from the late eighteenth century described his “art of seeing” like this: (more…) Read more

Right about now in Gospel Doctrine classes, everyone should nearing the Divided Kingdom stories, when Jereboam breaks off and takes 10 tribes with him, and we get two Israelite kingdoms (Israel and Judah) with two Israelite kings (Reheboam and Jereboam.) And coincidentally right about now, it gets darn hard to keep everyone straight. Instead of one story, we’re now switching back and forth between narrative of the northern kingdom and narrative of the southern kingdom, like in Lord of the... Read more

Sacred music and the Establishment Clause

Last updated on: July 8, 2010 at 10:21 am By emilyu

My last post on patriotic music in church got me thinking of sort of the opposite side of that coin – sacred music in the public sphere. Specifically in public schools. Last year, a U.S. Appeals Court in New Jersey upheld the Maplewood – Orange County school district’s decision to ban all religious music in school performances. The ban had been in place since 1990, but when the school district expanded it to include instrumental versions of religious songs... Read more
