Even at Christmas, the Interpreter Foundation continues to produce. Here, for example, is a sextet of very recent new items:
“Conference Talks: Recovering the Language of Purity after the First Revolt“
The fourth “Temple on Mount Zion” Conference was held on Saturday, 10 November 2018 in the Tanner Building at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah.
The presentations were filmed, and both video and audio recordings of each presentation are available. The videos are currently available both at and on the Interpreter Foundation YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/theinterpreterfoundation. A YouTube playlist is also available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRMn4gyXMWLsWt34zVNC5FmTqBtFfcnxl. The audio recordings are available at https://interpreterfoundation.org/conferences/2018-temple-on-mount-zion-conference/2018-temple-on-mount-zion-conference-audio/.
This particular talk was delivered at the 2018 Temple on Mount Zion Conference by Thomas Wayment.
Nibley Lectures: Come, Follow Me Book of Mormon Lesson 1: Introductory Pages of the Book of Mormon
During 1988, 1989, and 1990, Hugh Nibley taught Honors Book of Mormon classes for four semesters at Brigham Young University. The lectures were video-taped and audio cassettes and printed transcripts were made of the lectures. We believe these recordings will be interesting to listen to and valuable to your Come, Follow Me study program this year. Each week, we will include the lectures covering the Book of Mormon chapters being studied that week.
This week, we have the first six lectures, covering background material for the Book of Mormon.
All 112 lectures are immediately available in PDF, audio, video, and electronic formats, as well as in paperback books that are available for purchase. Links for all of the available online sources can be found in the Complete Bibliography for Hugh Nibley at https://interpreterfoundation.org/bibliographies/hugh-w-nibley/lectures/.
The Book of Mormon in Context Lesson 1: “Another Testament of Jesus Christ”: Introductory Pages
For the 10 December 2023 Come, Follow Me segment of the Interpreter Radio Show, discussants Martin Tanner, Kevin Christensen, Mark Johnson, and John Gee conversed about Book of Mormon lesson 1, “Another Testament of Jesus Christ” on the Introductory Pages of the Book of Mormon.
A recording of their discussion is now available to you at no charge, shorn of commercial and other interruptions. The other segments of the 10 December 2023 radio show are accessible at https://interpreterfoundation.org/interpreter-radio-show-december-10-2023.
Interpreter Radio Show — December 10, 2023
In this episode of The Interpreter Radio Show, Martin Tanner, Kevin Christensen, Mark Johnson, and John Gee discussed Come, Follow Me Book of Mormon lesson 1 and how to study the Book of Mormon.
The “New Testament in Context” portion of this show, for the Come, Follow Me Book of Mormon lesson 1 was posted separately on Tuesday, 26 December 2023. (See immediately above.)
The Interpreter Radio Show can be heard each and every week of the year on Sunday evenings from 7 to 9 PM (MDT), on K-TALK, AM 1640. Or, if you prefer or if you’re wanting to listen from outside of the Valley of the Great Salt Lake, you can listen live on the Internet at ktalkmedia.com.
Editor’s Note: Four years ago, Jonn Claybaugh began writing the Study and Teaching Helps series of articles for Interpreter. We now have these wonderful and useful posts for all four years of Come, Follow Me lessons. Beginning this year we will be reposting these articles, with dates, lesson numbers, and titles updated for the current year’s lessons. Jonn has graciously agreed to write new study aids for those lessons that do not directly correspond to 2020 lessons.
We are pleased to announce the availability of a new online Book of Mormon Bibliography collection, available at
https://interpreterfoundation.org/bibliographies/bom
The bibliography includes over 11,000 entries, ranging from 1812 (the “Spaulding Manuscript”) to September, 2023 (the FAIR Defending the Book of Mormon Conference) and from poetry in the Ensign to General Conference talks and scholarly papers. It includes more than 19,000 links to documents across the internet, providing access to many of the entries in various online formats.
The Book of Mormon Bibliography includes indexes sorted by author names, titles, chronologically, and by scriptural book.
As with any online bibliography, the Book of Mormon Bibliography is a living document, growing as new documents become available and as we are able to add entries and features. We know there are many relevant documents available on the internet that we have not added to this collection yet.
As a volunteer organization, The Interpreter Foundation depends on volunteers to do much of the work on new features such as this bibliography. If you would like to help, just use the contact form at https://interpreterfoundation.org/foundation/contact/ to let us know how you would like to help. We specifically need people to create topical indexes for the Book of Mormon Bibliography as well as several of our other collections and to identify the entries for each of the topics.
Even if you cannot directly help, we hope that you find the Book of Mormon Bibliography to be a valuable resource as we enter 2024 and begin to study the Book of Mormon in Come, Follow Me lessons.
On the other hand, if you would like to help to support the Interpreter Foundation financially, or if you are still simply mulling over the question of where to make your year-end charitable donations, we would appreciate your contribution, whether great or small. You can learn how to donate here. There is plenty going on at the Foundation, and financial contributions — as well as volunteers — are always very welcome. And the end of the year 2023 is very nearly upon us.
If you have found any value whatever in what the Interpreter Foundation has produced over the past twelve months, it would be wonderful if you could send something along so that 2024 can be a similarly productive year. In any event, though, we wish you all the best, and we will continue working.
