We\u2019re staying just a little bit north of this inlet at Depoe Bay, Oregon. And, thus far, the weather hasn\u2019t been so sunny. But it\u2019s still very nice.

Three new items went up on the website of the Interpreter Foundation yesterday, and I\u2019ve been tardy in calling your attention to them:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNibley Lectures: Time Vindicates the Prophets<\/em> \u2014 Prophets and Traditions\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Between 7 March 1954 and 17 October 1954, Hugh Nibley delivered a series of thirty weekly lectures on KSL Radio that were also published as pamphlets. The series, called Time Vindicates the Prophets<\/em>, was given in answer to those who were challenging the right of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints<\/a> to call themselves Christians.<\/p>\n

This lecture considers the second of two twin pillars of conventional Christianity: tradition, specifically traditions within the Church and how the Church breaks other Christian traditions.<\/p>\n

Audio Roundtable: Come, Follow Me<\/em> Old Testament Lesson 31 \u201cThou Art Come \u2026 for Such a Time as This\u201d<\/em>: Esther<\/a><\/p>\n

The Interpreter Radio Roundtable for Come, Follow Me<\/em>\u00a0Old Testament Lesson 31,\u00a0\u201cThou Art Come \u2026 for Such a Time as This,\u201d<\/em> on Esther, features Martin Tanner, Bruce Webster, and Kris Frederickson. It has been extracted from the 19 June 2022 broadcast of the Interpreter Radio Show. The complete recording of that particular episode of the show may be heard at https:\/\/interpreterfoundation.org\/interpreter-radio-show-June-19-2022\/<\/a>. The Interpreter Radio Show can be heard weekly, on Sunday evenings from 7 to 9 PM (MDT), on K-TALK, AM 1640 or via the Internet at ktalkmedia.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, here are links to two recent articles from the unfortunately necessary Neville-Neville Land<\/em> blog:<\/p>\n

And here is a quartet of science-related links that I hope you too will find of interest:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The horrible treatment of the Uyghur minority under Chinese Communist rule should neither be ignored nor forgotten.\u00a0 Here are a few links that I\u2019ve gathered over the previous six months or so but neglected to share:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

National Review<\/em>:\u00a0 \u201cNBA Team Owner: \u2018Nobody Cares\u2019 about Uyghur Genocide: Golden State Warriors owner Chamath Palihapitiya suggested that \u201cnobody cares\u201d about China\u2019s persecution of the Uyghur community in Xinjiang\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Wall Street Journal<\/em>:\u00a0 \u201cProgressive to Uyghurs: Drop Dead: Joe Biden\u2019s foreign policy is about protecting Democrats\u2019 domestic spending, not U.S. security.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The American Conservative<\/em>:\u00a0 \u201cChamath Tells An Ugly Truth: Billionaire venture capitalist says neither he nor anyone else really cares about Uyghurs persecuted by Beijing. To our shame, he\u2019s right\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

GetReligion:\u00a0 \u201cDramatic story of Kyrgyz Christian swept up in China\u2019s Uyghur repression gets very little ink\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Associated Press:\u00a0 \u201cUyghur county in China has highest prison rate in the world\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Farid al-Din Attar<\/a>, who died in the early thirteenth century, is one of the greatest of all Muslim mystics. \u00a0His most famous work is a lengthy allegorical poem entitled Mantiq al-Tayr<\/em>, which is typically rendered in English as The Conference of the Birds<\/em> or The Parliament of the Birds<\/em>. \u00a0It\u2019s full of little sermonettes and stories and exhortations, subordinate to the overall plot of the story that it relates. \u00a0Here is one of them, as\u00a0translated by\u00a0Afkham Darbandi\u00a0and Dick Davis:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Moslem fought an infidel one day<\/span><\/p>\n

And as they fought requested time to pray.<\/span><\/p>\n

He prayed and fought again \u2013 the infidel<\/span><\/p>\n

Then asked for time to say his prayers as well;<\/span><\/p>\n

He went aside to find a cleaner place<\/span><\/p>\n

And toward his idol bowed his face.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Moslem, when he saw him kneel and bow,<\/span><\/p>\n

Said: \u201cVictory is mine if I strike now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But as he raised his sword for that last stroke,<\/span><\/p>\n

A warning voice from highest heaven spoke:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cO vicious wretch \u2013 from head to foot deceit \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

What promises are these, you faithless cheat?<\/span><\/p>\n

His blade was sheathed when you asked him for time;<\/span><\/p>\n

For you to strike him now would be a crime \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you not read in Our Koran the verse<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Fulfill your promises\u2019?\u00a0 And will you curse<\/span><\/p>\n

The word you gave?\u00a0 The infidel was true;<\/span><\/p>\n

He kept his promises, and so should you.<\/span><\/p>\n

You offer evil in return for good \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

With others act as to yourself you would!<\/span><\/p>\n

The infidel kept faith with you, and where<\/span><\/p>\n

Is your fidelity, for all your prayer?<\/span><\/p>\n

You are a Moslem, but false piety<\/span><\/p>\n

Is less than this poor pagan\u2019s loyalty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Moslem heard this speech and went apart;<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweat poured from him, remorse accused his heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pagan saw him as if spell-bound stand,<\/span><\/p>\n

Tears in his eyes, his sword still in his hand,<\/span><\/p>\n

And asked: \u201cWhy do you weep?\u201d\u00a0 The man replied:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy shame is not a matter I can hide\u201d \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

He told him of the voice that he had heard<\/span><\/p>\n

Reproaching him when he would break his word,<\/span><\/p>\n

And ending said: \u201cMy tears anticipate<\/span><\/p>\n

The fury of your vengeance and your hate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But when the infidel had heard this tale,<\/span><\/p>\n

His eyes were filled with tears, his face turned pale \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGod censures you for your disloyalty<\/span><\/p>\n

And guards the life of His sworn enemy \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I continue to be faithless now?<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll burn my gods, to Allah I will bow,<\/span><\/p>\n

Expound His law!\u00a0 Too long my heart has lain<\/span><\/p>\n

In darkness bound by superstition\u2019s chain.\u201d\u00a0 (137-138)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, I received this item just a few minutes ago.\u00a0 These concerts are regular events at the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies, and they\u2019re really quite good:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dear Music lovers,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Please join us this coming Sunday, 24 July<\/strong> at <\/em>8pm<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0(11 am MT in the U.S.) <\/em>when we host Ilya Friedberg<\/strong>, Israeli pianist \u2013 a winner of multiple international competition<\/em>s. Friedberg<\/strong>, together with musicians from the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra: Saida Bar-Lev<\/strong>, violin, Sharon Cohen<\/strong>, violin, Yoni Gertner,<\/strong> viola and Gal Nyska<\/strong>, cello, will play two masterpieces by W. A. Mozart <\/strong>and A. Dvo\u0159\u00e1k. \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

For more details about the concert, please see the attached program.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
