CONTENTS 2 Contributors 3 The Editor’s Notebook Feature Articles 4 Quetzalcoatl, the Maya Maize God, and Jesus Christ diane e. wirth Quetzalcoatl has often been linked to the resurrected Savior. There is firm evidence in Maya legend for this linkage but also reason to be cautious when trying to show that such belief derives directly from actual remembrance of the Savior’s New World visit. 16 Painting Out the Messiah: The Theologies of Dissidents john l. clar Dissidents from Nephite society shared a notable trait—they all dismissed the promised Messiah because, among other reasons, they failed to accept or understand prophecy concerning him. 28 The Sesquicentennial of Four European Translations of the Book of Mormon Traduit de L’Anglais: The First French Book of Mormon richard d. mcclella Das Buch Mormon: The German Translation of the Book of Mormon gilbert w. scharff Il Libro di Mormon: Anticipating Growth beyond Italy’s Waldensian Valleys michael w. homer Llyfr Mormon: The Translation of the Book of Mormon into Welsh ronald d. denn The year 1852 saw the Book of Mormon translated into four European languages, a remarkable effort that would greatly affect missionary work across Europe for decades to come. 50 A Third Jaredite Record: The Sealed Portion of the Gold Plates valentin arts The preserved literary heritage of the Jaredites has been thought to rest only in the 24 gold plates found by Limhi’s men and in the Jaredite stone translated by Mosiah.

  • LDS Prospects in Italy for the Twenty-First Century
    LDS Prospects in Italy for the Twenty-first Century Michael W. Homer WHEN APOSTLE LORENZO SNOW WAS CALLED in 1849 to "establish a mission in Italy and wherever the spirit should direct/'1 he was initially optimis- tic that the Waldensians, a Protestant group in the Kingdom of Sardinia (Piedmont), would be receptive. Like others, he believed they had "been the means of preserving the doctrines of the gospel in their primitive sim- plicity."2 He hoped that Waldensian converts would spread the gospel message to the larger Catholic population in Piedmont and the other sta- tarelli on the Italian peninsula.3 Snow was disappointed, for the Italian 1. Eliza R. Snow Smith, Biography and Family Record of Lorenzo Snow (Salt Lake City: De- seret News Co., 1884). A comprehensive history of the Italian mission has not been written. For a short sketch, see my "The Italian Mission, 1850-1867," Sunstone 7 (May-June 1982): 16- 21. 2.

Although Snow did not identify this Religious Tract Society publication, the content of his letters written during his mission (see Snow, The Italian Mission [London: W. Aubrey, 1851]) demonstrates that it influenced his initial enthusiasm about the Waldensians. The theme of the tract—commonly accepted by many Protestants in the nineteenth century—is that the Waldensians were preserved from the corruption of the Catholic church and were a remnant of the primitive church because of their remote mountain location.

After four decades of waiting, Di Francesca was finally baptized on January 18, 1951, in the Mediterranean Sea. The Church was not reestablished in Italy until the 1950s, when a number of Italians learned of the gospel in other coun- tries and returned home to share the message with friends and family. The first Italian-speaking congregations were formed in Brescia and Palermo. In 1966, the Italian Mission was reestablished with headquar- ters in Rome. The Church made steady progress, and between 1970 and 1980, Church membership in Italy increased nearly eightfold. Another milestone was reached in 1981, when the first stake (similar to a diocese) was organized in Italy.
