As TI look back at the table of contents of the first issue, published in 1959, I am struck that the same multidisciplinary variety still flourishes today in BYU Studies as it did then. Articles, essays, and book reviews in that issue covered topics of contemporary interest that are still of interest today. In that inaugural issue, subjects included an LDS philosophical engagement with existentialism, a Mormon embrace of the human val- ues found in modern art, an economic historical analysis of the Word of Wisdom, and a literary reading of Hawthorne’s wrestle with the com- plexities of human interactions and of moral transgressions. Found in that first volume were department chairs as well as rising young assis- tant professors whose names were larger-than-life presences in LDS academic circles and on the BYU campus when I arrived as a freshman in the fall of 1964. They included such notables as Truman Madsen, Conan Matthews, Marden Clark, Leonard Arrington, and Kent Fielding. In marking any anniversary, it is good to glance back into the past, in order to regroup and reestablish our bearings. In this present issue, as Patrick Moran’s personal essay sensitively states, memory “is the very glue that keeps me bound to what I have been, what I am, and what I will become.” Fifteen years ago, on the fortieth anniversary of BYU Studies, I reflected on the precepts that have come to epitomize the academic code of profes- sional conduct found today in our Author Guidelines.1 Its six main ideals still today are: 4 BYU Studies Quarterly 53, no. 2 (214) From the Editor V 5 1. Unity: The goal of unity with God and our fellow beings must be continually cultivated and nourished. The goal of unity does not imply that all scholarly methods or personal views must be the same, but “if ye are not one ye are not mine” (D&C 38:27). 2. Harmony: BYU Studies Quarterly seeks to harmonize and transcend, in a spiritual, intellectual, and practical unity, elements of this mortal existence that appear to most people to be incompatible contradictions. 3. Honesty: Accuracy and reliability are of the essence in scholarship. 4. Thoroughness: It is expedient to understand “all things that per- tain unto the kingdom of God,” at home and abroad, in heaven and in earth, “things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass” (D&C 88:78–79). 5. Humility: No person says or understands everything perfectly, and a variety of opinions on a shared scale of progression are expected. Scholarship is not an end in itself. Research cannot create faith; it can only set the stage for greater light and knowledge. 6. Charity: In order for communication to occur, there must be char- ity, for no statement exists (including this one) that cannot be miscon- strued. If fellowship and goodwill do not exist, especially in an academic setting, we will not communicate with one another. If you as a reader resonate positively to these professional values, BYU Studies hopes to always be your trusted friend. Recently, Steve Piersanti, a highly positioned West Coast book publisher, dropped me a note to say, “The guidelines for authors from BYU Studies are wonderful and amazing. I’ve never seen anything like them before.” As I have looked over the page proofs for this issue one last time, I have seen these values pervading the pages of this journal. I feel a sense of unity in the various faithful voices of men and women who cherish relationships and communion with the household of faith. I find cohesion as these authors harmonize dichotomies and conun- drums, as they evenhandedly conjoin evangelical grace and Latter-day Saint works (Robert Millet), wisely blend the world of business and the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ (Douglas Anderson), and take seri- ously both folklore and inspiration (Eric Eliason). I am amazed at the painstaking efforts that have been taken to ensure the greatest possible accuracy in our transcriptions of early Church discourses (LaJean Carruth) and Church newspapers from the 1840s (Susan Easton Black). Expansive interests draw together Mormons and Buddhists (Reid Neilson), bring together the factoids of numerology with the sacred 6 v BYU Studies Quarterly messages of scripture (Corbin Volluz), and draw to attention a dozen early Armenian reflections on the life of Abraham (Douglas Clark). Thoroughness is exemplified by the scripture database noticed here, which pinpoints hundreds of thousands of scripture references found in over seven thousand books and speeches and articles. Humility is found not only in recognitions by these authors of their own inadequacies and vast amounts of work yet to be accomplished, but also in submitting to personal disappointments and still being able to say, “Be it unto me, according to thy word,” as in the award-winning personal essay by Rebecca Clarke. And charity can be found rolling alongside the “villages on wheels” whose stories have been rescued from obscurity by the late Stan Kim- ball’s astonishing collection of thousands of firsthand records never before compiled, telling details of suffering, love, humor, tragedy and joy on the trails of the Saints gathering to Zion, the quintessential Mor- mon experience. Moving forward in this fifty-five-year tradition of distinctive schol- arly LDS publishing, all of us at BYU Studies are very happy to bring you this latest issue. We hope it enriches the goodness of your life. John W. Welch 1. The points listed here are extracted from John W. Welch, “Moving On,” BYU Studies 38, no. 1 (1999): 226–28, and are found at the BYU Studies web- site as Author Guidelines: https://byustudies.byu.edu/NewsAndEvents/Author Submissions.aspx. ^ The Perils of Grace Robert L. Millet here is no question but that the Latter-day Saints have been hesitant, Teven slow, to reflect upon and teach what the Book of Mormon and latter-day revelation have to say about the grace of God. This is under- standable when we remind ourselves that the early Saints viewed the restored gospel and Church as major correctives to a Christian world that had gone off course. Speaking of Protestantism as a branch broken off from Catholicism, Joseph Smith stated, only eleven days before his death, “Here is a princ[iple] of logic—that men have no more sense [than to adopt]—I will illustrate [it by] an old apple tree—here jumps off a branch & says I am the true tree. & you are corrupt—if the whole tree is corrupt how can any true thing come out of it?”1 More especially, since Mormonism arose in a largely Protestant America, it ought not surprise us that there was an especially strong emphasis by the Saints on the need to perform the works of righteousness in order to qualify for salvation.

  • Enos, Jarom, Omni, Words of Mormon OVERVIEW
    LESSON 14 “For A Wise Purpose” Enos, Jarom, Omni, Words of Mormon OVERVIEW: Enos prays for himself, the Nephites and the Lamanites. The Nephites prosper through continual repentance. Omni, Amaron, Chemish, Abinadom, and Amaleki keep the records. Mormon adds the small plates of Nephi to his abridgement of the large plates. These four books were written by eight men. If all the thousand year history of Lehi’s posterity were written so succinctly [as these one chapter books], the Book of Mormon would be a 20-page pamphlet, instead of a 531 page book. Victor Ludlow, Studies in the Scriptures, 7:196 SCRIPTURES: THE BOOK OF ENOS CHAPTER 1 Enos prays mightily and gains a remission of his sins—The voice of the Lord comes into his mind promising salvation for the Lamanites in a future day—Nephites sought to reclaim the Lamanites in their day—Enos rejoices in his Redeemer. [Between 544 and 420 B.C.] (The posterity of Jacob maintained these records for over four centuries from 544 BC to almost 130 BC, when they were turned over to King Benjamin.) 1 BEHOLD, it came to pass that I, aEnos, (The name Enos is a poetic Hebrew word meaning “man.” It first appears in the Bible as the name of Seth’s son. As a grandson of Adam, through Seth, Enos was privileged to be part of the ancient patriarchal line of the priesthood. That Jacob named his son, Enos, should not be surprising because the Nephites often gave their children names from the scriptures.) knowing my father that bhe was a just man (This is the equivalent of saying, “My father was faithful in keeping the law of the gospel.” It is common for us to think of a just man as one who is impartial and fair.

  • Book of Mormon FAVORITES
    Stacy’s Book of Mormon FAVORITES I love The Book of Mormon because as it states on the cover, it is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. About 600 years before Christ was born, God called a prophet and his family to leave Jerusalem, because it was going to be destroyed. This family’s story is primarily what we read in The Book of Mormon. I’m so grateful to know that God loves all of His children, that He has called prophets across time and place to teach and instruct us and invite us to learn. We live in a time when many question the validity of The Bible, but I don’t, in large measure because of this book of additional scripture. Ezekiel prophesied in chapter 37:15-19 about the stick of Judah (The Bible) and the stick of Joseph (The Book of Mormon) coming together in one. There are amazing stories, prophecies, encounters and teachings in these pages. Here are a few of my favorites … I Nephi 1:1 and 20 Because goodly parents are such a blessing and because even in intense tribulation, their teachings mingled with our faith AND the tender mercies of the Lord will see us through. 1 Nephi 3:7 Because we can always keep the commandments, and here’s why! 1 Nephi 15:8 Because this is a question that I ask myself all the time when I’ve got a small or big decision to make, or really any question or doubt on my mind! Then skip ahead and read 1 Nephi 18:3! 2 Nephi 4:15-16 Because like me, Nephi loved the scriptures! 2 Nephi 9:28-29 and verses 42-43 Great counsel on learning and wisdom.

  • An Outline of the Textual Structure of the Book of Mormon by J
    An Outline of the Textual Structure of The Book of Mormon by J. Max Wilson [email protected] Explanation I compiled the following outline as a way to help me understand the Book of Mormon better by identifying some of the organizational boundaries, voices, and structure of the text. The chapter boundaries of the original 1830 edition of the Book of Mormon were different than our modern version and it was not divided into verses. Apostle Orson Pratt divided the book into new chapters and added the verse divisions in the 1838 Liverpool edition of the book. One objective of the outline was to easily see the different boundaries between the chapters both in the original translation and our modern version. The Book of Mormon itself is translated from multiple different sets of records which create natural boundaries in the structure between source materials and authors. Some of these divisions and groups are identified by headings in the original text itself, which I have colored blue. The original translation did not identify the range of chapters over which the headings extended, but in the 1920 edition of the Book of Mormon, text was added to identify which chapters comprised each section identified by the headings. In addition to the headings from the original record, based on my own reading I have added my own sections with their own headings and boundaries, colored green, whenever possible using words from the actual text. Many of the boundaries I have made organize chapters of the text where the primary voice changes from the principal author or editor of the plates (Nephi, Mormon, Moroni) to one of their sources for an extensive section, or when the editors (Mormon for the Large Plates of Nephi and Moroni for the Plates of Ether) interrupt their narrative to offer extensive editorial commentary.

  • Dandyism & Dorian Gray
    NIHILISM, COSME.TICS and AUDAOTY (Dan dyism & Dor i an Gr a y ) ... being a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English in the University of Canterbury by Simon Taylor. University of Canterbury -199 0 - Annushka i Tatyana. acknowledging the assistance of Dr. Denis Walker abstract This thesis presents a study of dandyism with reference to Oscar Wilde and Dorian Gray in the form of a comparative analysis. It provides a critique of the social and cultural theories of dandyism of Ellen Moers, Sima Godfrey, Carter Ratcliff, in relation to the dandyfied views of Charles Baudelaire and Barbey D'Aurevilly. It establishes a philosophical tradition of dandyism, bearing on the positions of Jacques Derrida, and on Jean Baudrillard's characterization of postmodernity. Employing the ideas of Walter Benjamin and Andrew Ross, it puts the thesis of the dandy as a point of confluence between fashion and philosophy, ethics and resthetics. matters of style, modes of contents: A Foreword to Nihilism, Cosmetics and Audacity: A Study on the dandyism of Oscar Wilde and his creature.
