Another installment on “The Ancient Making of a Modern Scripture”

Today, in addition to Don Bradley’s “A Passover Setting for Lehi’s Exodus,” the Interpreter Foundation also published

Brant A. Gardner, “Labor Diligently to Write: The Ancient Making of a Modern Scripture Chapters 6 – 8”

[Editor’s Note: We are pleased to present the third installment from a book entitled Labor Diligently to Write: The Ancient Making of a Modern Scripture. It is being presented in serialized form as an aid to help readers prepare for the 2020 Come Follow Me course of study. This is a new approach for Interpreter, and we hope you find it helpful.]

Don’t worry, though.  I’m not intending to neglect your voracious need for ever fresh material with which to stuff the metaphorical stocking of your Christopher Hitchens Memorial “How Religion Poisons Everything” File.  So here are some items that you might consider for that purpose:

“Back and Brighter Than Ever: #LighttheWorld Returns”

“‘Underground’ service project at Provo MTC yields 350,000 meal kits”

“48% of people in Madagascar live without clean water.  With your help, we are going to change that.  We are proud to partner with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

“Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Utah women’s right to vote”

“‘You take this house, and I’ll take yours.’”

And now, sigh, it’s time to check in once more on the work of Mr. Jonathan Neville, a vocal proponent of the Heartland model of Book of Mormon geography and, much more importantly still, an ardent warner against the evil “M2C” conspiracy that is to mislead the Church and its leaders and of which, it seems, I’m a central member:

“Jonathan Neville believes the Brethren are dupes”

“Those who live in glass houses, pt. 4″

“Those who live in glass houses, pt. 5”

“Jonathan Neville’s Rameumptom”

But let’s not end on that negative note.

I’ve just finished watching the new Church film that has been made in connection with the Light the World campaign for 2019.  I think it’s one of the best films that I’ve seen from the Church, and I highly, highly recommend it.  Please find the eighteen minutes required to watch it and give it a look soon.  Share it with others:
