Not To Be Missed

Qumran Cave 4Q — The tour that I’m leading stood this afternoon at precisely the same place from which this photograph of Qumran’s Cave 4Q was taken. Roughly 3/4 of the Dead Sea Scrolls that were found in the immediate vicinity of the Qumran ruins were discovered in Cave 4Q.

Sometimes, on this trip, I don’t even know what day it is. And I’m often behind. So I’m rather late in calling attention to this new piece from Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture:

““The Time is Past”: A Note on Samuel’s Five-Year Prophecy”

I hope that you enjoy it!

And, for those of you who teach or attend Gospel Doctrine classes in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, here’s an item that might be both interesting and helpful:

“Why and How Should We Study the Old Testament? Gospel Doctrine Lesson 19: The Reign of the Judges (Judges 2; 4; 6-7; 13-16) (JBOTL19A)”

And had I mentioned this one?

“Did Joshua “Utterly Destroy” the Canaanites?: Gospel Doctrine Lesson 18: “Be Strong and of a Good Courage” (Joshua 1-6; 23-24) (JBOTL18A)”

Moreover, please don’t forget the Interpreter Radio Show:

I haven’t been able to listen while I’ve been overseas, but I have every reason to believe that it’s still going on.

Have you heard the 29 April 2018 broadcast? The host was Martin Tanner, discussing a variety of topics, including Joseph Smith’s educational background, Martin Harris and Charles Anton, the Joseph Smith Papers Project, the fate of the 12 apostles, Emma Smith, and Early New Testament Manuscripts:

Interpreter Radio Show — April 29, 2018

And how about the 22 April 2018 broadcast? The hosts that evening were Allen Wyatt, Craig Foster, and Matt Bowen. Topics discussed included onomastic wordplay in the Book of Mormon, other ancient scripture, and ancient cultures. The hosts also discussed Steve Smoot’s review of John Gee’s latest book, An Introduction to the Book of Abraham. Allen Wyatt and Craig Foster discussed how to help youth maintain faith and how each of them was drawn to the world of apologetics.
