<\/a>The Interpreter Foundation\u2019s weirdly obsessive fixation on Brigham Young<\/a> continues to be unashamedly displayed in these materials that have recently been posted on its website:<\/p>\n The Temple: Plates, Patterns, & Patriarchs<\/em>: \u201cHow Luke\u2019s Gospel Portrays Jesus as the Exodus or Way of the Temple,\u201d<\/a> written by John S. Thompson<\/a>: \u00a0Part of our book chapter reprint series, this article originally appeared in The Temple: Plates, Patterns, & Patriarchs<\/em>, edited by Stephen D. Ricks and Jeffrey M. Bradshaw. For more information, go to https:\/\/interpreterfoundation.org\/books\/the-temple-plates-patterns-patriarchs\/<\/a>. For video and audio recording of this conference talk, go to https:\/\/interpreterfoundation.org\/conferences\/2022-temple-on-mount-zion-conference\/videos\/thompson\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe flow of Luke\u2019s narrative suggests that it is a chronological retelling of the events in Christ\u2019s life; however, differences in the ordering of some events compared to the other synoptic Gospels raises questions whether the sequence of time really was Luke\u2019s governing criteria. Conzelmann and Fitzmeyer, among others, argue that Luke seems to be using geography as the criteria for the structure of his narrative, clustering the events of Jesus\u2019s ministry to three main locations in a spatial sequence: those occurring in Galilee, those occurring while He journeys to Jerusalem, and those in Jerusalem. This framework drives the reader to view Jerusalem as the destination focal point and place where all is fulfilled.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cThe Heartland Versus Mesoamerica\u201d Part 10: \u201cMilitarism and the Models,\u201d<\/a> written by Brant A. Gardner<\/a><\/p>\n Nibley Lectures: Come, Follow Me<\/em> Doctrine and Covenants Lesson 26 \u201cWorth \u2026 the Riches of the Whole Earth<\/em>: Doctrine and Covenants 67\u201370<\/a><\/p>\n 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\u2019t stop or start at the beginning of the class and there is some background noise. Volumes vary, probably depending upon where the recorder was placed in the room. Many are very low volume but in most cases it\u2019s possible to understand the words. In a couple of cases the ends of one class were put on some space left over from a different class. There\u2019s some mixup around D&C90-100 that couldn\u2019t be figured out so those recordings are as they were on the tapes. Even with these flaws and missing classes, we believe these these will be interesting to listen to and valuable to your Come, Follow Me<\/em> study program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Come, Follow Me<\/em> \u2014 D&C Study and Teaching Helps (2025): Doctrine and Covenants 67\u201370: June 23 \u2013 29: \u201cWorth \u2026 the Riches of the Whole Earth\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Jonn Claybaugh continues with his series of concise lesson helps for families and for students and teachers of the Come, Follow Me<\/em> curriculum of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n We began our filming today on the grounds of a private farm near Excelsior Springs. \u00a0Our filmmakers went out immediately after our arrival here in Missouri on Tuesday afternoon, scouting for a good location for this morning\u2019s work, and they found one. \u00a0The owners of the farm generously granted us permission to film from their property. \u00a0The weather today was glorious, and our vantage point afforded us a grand and beautiful view overlooking the valley of the Fishing River<\/a>.<\/p>\n As our companion at the farm, we had a very sociable ginger cat who needed to be driven several times from our vehicles; he used every opportunity, however slight, to jump in. \u00a0He plainly enjoyed being with us while we worked. \u00a0At one point, though, he headed off a few feet into a nearby meadow and we saw him stalking something. \u00a0Then he pounced and, soon, he returned with a garter snake that he had just killed. \u00a0Generously, he brought it over and dropped it by my feet. \u00a0Plainly, this part of Missouri is much more friendly to Latter-day Saints now than it was in the 1830s.<\/p>\n In the afternoon, we filmed on the grounds of the Visitors Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Independence, and near its entrance, and before a regional map on its first floor. \u00a0As with our previous filming expeditions to Mendon, in New York, and to Carthage and Nauvoo, in Illinois, the local historic sites manager for the Church has been with us, and very helpful to us, during whatever time we\u2019ve spent working on Church property.<\/p>\n This is very troubling: \u00a0\u201c\u2018Enemy of Our Enemy\u2019: Why the Far-Right Calls for a \u2018Free Palestine.\u2019\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 Lamentably, like its rough counterparts in Europe \u2014 by which I definitely do not intend Nazism (i.e., National Socialism) and Fascism, which I consider heresies of the Left \u2014 the American conservative movement has sometimes struggled with anti-Semitic elements on its fringes or within its broad ranks. \u00a0The late, great William F. Buckley Jr. famously discussed the topic (and attempted to exorcise the demon) in his 1991 book In Search of Anti-Semitism<\/em><\/a>. \u00a0Alas, though, the perennial and perennially evil tendency toward hatred of Jews seems to be back yet again, and even to be gaining some (entirely misguided and contemptible) degree of respectability in certain circles.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
