Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies Institute for the Study and Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts Brigham Young University © 2005 Institute for the Study and Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts Brigham Young University All rights reserved Printed in the United States of America ISSN 1550-3194 To Our Readers The Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (FARMS) at Brigham Young University supports study and research on the Book of Mormon, the Book of Abraham, the Old Testament, and the New Testament and studies of the early formative period of the Christian tradition, ancient temples, and other related subjects. FARMS publishes and distributes titles in these areas for the benefit of scholars and interested Latter-day Saint readers. Primary FARMS research interests include the history, language, literature, culture, geography, politics, and law relevant to ancient scripture. Although such subjects are of secondary importance when compared with the spiritual and eternal messages of scripture, solid research and aca- demic perspectives can supply certain kinds of useful information, even if only tentatively, concerning many significant and interesting questions about scripture. FARMS makes interim and final reports about this research avail- able widely, promptly, and economically. These publications are peer reviewed to ensure that scholarly standards are met. The pro- ceeds from the sale of these materials are used to support further research and publications. As a service to teachers and students of the scriptures, research results are distributed in both scholarly and popular formats. The purpose of the FARMS Review is to help serious readers make informed choices and judgments about books published on the Book of Mormon and associated topics, as well as to publish substantial freestanding essays on related matters. We hope, thereby, to encour- age reliable scholarship with regard to such subjects. Most reviews and articles are solicited or assigned. Any person in- terested in writing a specific article or review should send a proposal to the editor. If the proposal is accepted, the Review style guidelines will be sent with the acceptance. vi • FARMS Review of Books 17/1 (2005) The opinions expressed in these reviews and articles are those of the authors.
