FARMS Review 20/2
Posted: Sat Feb 28, 2009 5:26 am
I’m pleased to report that FARMS Review 20/2 (2008) has come from the press.
Here’s a brief run-down of the contents:
Louis Midgley has an editor’s introduction on “Debating Evangelicals.”
Next follow the texts of the first two annual Neal A. Maxwell Lectures: Elder Cecil O. Samuelson’s “On Becoming a Disciple-Scholar” and Elder Bruce Hafen’s “Reason, Faith, and the Things of Eternity.”
A section entitled “Biblical and Mormon Studies” features reviews by Robert White and Gregory Smith of George D. Smith’s Nauvoo Polygamy, as well as a review by John Tvedtnes of a British scholar's book on the lost ark of the covenant.
This is followed by a section on “Book of Mormon” made up entirely by an essay by Brant Gardner entitled “This Idea: The ‘This Land’ Series and the U.S.-Centric Reading of the Book of Mormon.”
A section called “Mormonism and Science” features an essay by Duane Boyce (“Of Science, Scripture, and Surprise”) responding to Stephens and Meldrum’s Evolution and Mormonism.
A section on the “Mountain Meadows Massacre” features a substantial review by Robert Briggs of Walker, Turley, and Leonard, Massacre at Mountain Meadows, and an article by the prominent non-Mormon historian William Mackinnon on “The Utah War and Its Mountain Meadows Massacre: Lessons Learned, Surprises Encountered.”
A section entitled “Nibley Studies” includes an essay by Dr. Shirley Ricks, the managing editor of the Collected Works of Hugh Nibley, on “Hugh Nibley’s Footnotes” and a review essay by Nibley’s long-time friend and colleague Louis Midgley, entitled “The Nibley Legacy.”
There are also a pair of short book notes.
Subscribers will start receiving their copies in the next week or two, I should think, and the texts will be up on the Maxwell Institute website sometime thereafter.
