This article of mine appeared in the print edition of the Deseret News<\/em> a couple of weeks ago and went online at LDS Living<\/em> more recently:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Joseph Smith\u2019s Neighbors Thought of Him, Even When They Disagreed with His Religion\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s an article of mine \u2014 the first of a pair that I\u2019ve written for the American Thanksgiving Day holiday this year \u2014 that appeared yesterday in both the print and online editions of the Deseret News<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe miracle of Earth\u2019s atmosphere design and the air we breathe:\u00a0As the Thanksgiving holiday draws near, there is much for us to be thankful for \u2014 including the very air that we breathe\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Since it\u2019s Friday, Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship<\/em> has just now published a new article, this one by Noel B. Reynolds<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Brass Plates Version of Genesis\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong>\u00a0The Book of Mormon peoples repeatedly indicated that they were descendants of Joseph, the son of Jacob who was sold into Egypt by his brothers. The plates of brass that they took with them from Jerusalem c.\u00a0600\u00a0bce provided them with a version of many Old Testament books and others not included in our Hebrew Bible. Sometime after publishing his translation of the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith undertook an inspired revision of the Bible. The opening chapters of his version of Genesis contain a lot of material not included in the Hebrew Bible. But intriguingly, distinctive phraseology in those chapters, as now published in Joseph Smith\u2019s Book of Moses, also show up in the Book of Mormon text. This paper presents a systematic examination of those repeated phrases and finds strong evidence for the conclusion that the version of Genesis used by the Nephite prophets must have been closely similar to Joseph Smith\u2019s Book of Moses.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, not content with just one article today, Interpreter<\/em> has also published a second<\/em>. \u00a0It\u2019s by Brant A. Gardner<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLabor Diligently to Write:\u00a0The Ancient Making of a Modern Scripture\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

[Editor\u2019s Note: We are pleased to present the first installment from a\u00a0book entitled\u00a0Labor Diligently to Write: The Ancient Making of a\u00a0Modern Scripture<\/em>. It is being presented in serialized form as an aid to help readers prepare for the 2020\u00a0Come Follow Me<\/em>\u00a0course of study. This is a\u00a0new approach for\u00a0Interpreter<\/em>, and we hope you find it helpful.]<\/span><\/p>\n
