We\u2019re just back from my traditional stop at the Shake Shack overlooking Crystal Cove, just off the Pacific Coast Highway. \u00a0I\u2019ve been stopping off at this little landmark since I was a child, when we would travel between our home in the San Gabriel Valley and the homes of a paternal aunt and a paternal uncle in San Diego and Chula Vista. \u00a0We always stopped and ordered date shakes, and that\u2019s what I order now. \u00a0The various burgers and so on are fine. \u00a0But the date shakes . . . \u00a0 Tradition!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The productivity of the Interpreter Foundation is beginning to resemble a geyser. \u00a0Or so it seems to me<\/span>. \u00a0I\u2019ve already posted today regarding three articles that appeared just a few hours ago:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRevisiting two recent reviews of a volume in the Joseph Smith Papers series\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But there is still more, including two new book chapters, a radio program, a scripture roundtable, and two brief videos:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLabor Diligently to Write:\u00a0The Ancient Making of a Modern Scripture\u201d (Chapters 4 & 5)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

[Editor\u2019s Note: We are pleased to present the second 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

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Interpreter Radio Show \u2014 November 17, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n

The participants on the Interpreter Radio Show for 17 November 2019 were Bruce Webster, Kris Frederickson, and Mike Parker and their discussion for the first hour included affinity fraud in Utah and the new Missionary Handbook. \u00a0Also included \u2014 in the second hour \u2014 was a roundtable on the upcoming\u00a0Come, Follow Me\u00a0<\/em>lesson #47 on Revelation 1-11. \u00a0Their conversation is now accessible, shorn of commercial and other interruptions, at no charge and at your convenience on the website of the Interpreter Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Perhaps, though, you\u2019re only interested (for now) in the second hour of their conversation. \u00a0It has been extracted for you, and all commercial and other breaks have been removed. \u00a0You may listen to it at the following link:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Audio Roundtable:\u00a0Come, Follow Me<\/em>\u00a0New Testament Lesson 48\u00a0\u201cGlory, and Power, Be unto \u2026 the Lamb for Ever\u201d\u00a0<\/em>(Revelation 1\u201311)<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

***<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also still fairly new on the website of the Interpreter Foundation:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cChrist as the Mediator of the New Testament (Hebrews 9)\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

A Video Supplement for\u00a0Come, Follow Me<\/em>\u00a0Lesson 44:\u00a0\u201cAn High Priest of Good Things to Come,\u201d from Dr. Hales Swift<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFaith without Works in James 2\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

A Video Supplement for\u00a0Come, Follow Me<\/em>\u00a0Lesson 45:\u201cBe Ye Doers of the Word, and Not Hearers Only,\u201d by Dr. Hales Swift<\/p>\n
