During 1978, 1979, and 1980, Hugh Nibley taught a Doctrine and Covenants Sunday School class. Cassette recordings were made of these classes and some have survived and were digitized by Steve Whitlock and recently enhanced by Nick Galieti. Most of the tapes were in pretty bad condition. The original recordings usually don’t stop or start […]The post Nibley Lectures: Come, Follow Me Doctrine and Covenants Lesson 13 (2025) — D&C 27 & 28 first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

D&C 27:5-14 “The Hour Cometh” After revealing what is important—and what is not—in relation to the ordinance of the sacrament (see verse 2), the Lord teaches Joseph Smith about a future event that will involve the sacrament. Jesus had also foretold this event when He initiated the sacrament among His disciples the evening before His […] The post Study and Teaching Helps: 2025 Doctrine & Covenants — D&C 27–28 first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

The Discernable Chronology of Mormon’s Life

The Interpreter Foundation ·

2025/03/17

The way the Nephites kept track of their historical records changed with the first year of the reign of the judges. At that point, the previous sporadic listing of years from the time Lehi left Jerusalem became a very complete listing of years. At first, the counts were fixed to the reign of the judges […] The post The Discernable Chronology of Mormon’s Life first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

2025/03/14

Abstract: James Lucas has made a passionate response to the negative review I offered for his and Jonathan Neville’s book By Means of Urim & Thummim. Though we agree on many important issues, there are some troubling gaps that readers of their book need to understand. Some of these issues may be illustrated in the […] The post Honorable Intentions with an Unreliable Methodology: Lucas’s Response Underscores the Problems first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Responding to a Non-Responsive Response

2025/03/14

Abstract: James Lucas had the opportunity to respond to the review of the book that he and Jonathan Neville wrote, By Means of the Urim & Thummim. He elected not to really respond to the issues I brought up but rather summarized his essential points. That doesn’t leave much to respond to. However, there is […] The post Responding to a Non-Responsive Response first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

The Interpreter Foundation ·

2025/03/14

Abstract: Two recent reviews of By Means of the Urim & Thummim: Restoring Translation to the Restoration by Jeff Lindsay and Brant Gardner seriously misrepresent the book’s argument. Perhaps most significantly, they largely sidestep the book’s central thesis that the statements by Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery that the Book of Mormon was translated from […] The post Joseph and Oliver Told the Truth about the Translation: A Response to Brant Gardner’s and Jeff Lindsay’s Reviews first

Abstract: In its action, setting, and arrangement, the Crucifixion may be viewed as a stark mockery of the Final Judgment scene. This article provides a brief review of the relevant scriptures, considered together with some related apocryphal and other early Christian writings of interest regarding the Crucifixion. These sources point to the interpretation that the […]The post Reprint: George Mitton: The Crucifixion as a Mockery, Witness, and Warning of the Judgment first appeared on The

D&C 23 The Lord Personalizes His Messages Section 23 is actually a series of five revelations. The Lord told the first four recipients that they were “under no condemnation,” but did not say this to Joseph Knight, perhaps because he was the only one of the five who was not yet baptized and thus still […] The post Study and Teaching Helps: 2025 Doctrine & Covenants — D&C 23–26 first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Abstract: In the book of Ether, the prophet Moroni “Christianizes” the Jaredite story, inserting extensive Christian elements into an original text that predates the house of Israel, the Nephite nation, and the Christian era. In this paper, a typological and intertextual method is used to show how Moroni uses the words of Christ in Ether […] The post “When Ye Shall Rend That Veil of Unbelief”: A Typological Reading of Ether 3 and 4 first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Abstract: Ancient prophets have had contests with those claiming established authority and ability to do miraculous things, such as Moses with the magicians at the court of pharaoh. The prophets won the contests because of their calling and the power of the priesthood that they held. Scholars have called this a “magical contest.” It might […]The post Reprint: George Mitton: Joseph Smith and the Magical Contest first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.
