    Matthew 28:16-20 Mark 16:9-20 Luke 24:44-53 John 20:30-31   1.   The gospel of Matthew ends with the so-called “Great Commission”:  “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I [Read More...]

New Testament [361]

    1 Corinthians 15:3-8   It’s often forgotten that there’s another early Old World witness to the Resurrection of Christ, quite independent from the accounts given by the four gospels: some of the early verses of chapter fifteen in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians.  (Notice, for example, that it omits mention of the [Read More...]

“Book of Mormon Central: A New Online Study Tool”

    I’m very excited about the approaching launch of Book of Mormon Central:   http://www.studioetquoquefide.com/201...   Needless to say, the Interpreter Foundation is affiliated with and fully supportive of this effort.   I would like to have been there yesterday for the public event, but, well, it’s a fairly lengthy trip from Richmond to Provo.

New Testament 360

    John 21:1-14  Compare Luke 5:1-11   The curious comment in John 21:12 (“Now none of the disciples dared ask him, ‘Who are you?’  They knew it was the Lord.”) suggests, again, that Jesus’ appearance in his resurrected state was slightly altered from his mortal appearance.

“Top 5 Archaeology Discoveries in the American West in 2015″

    I suspect that most of my readers live in the American West.  It’s easy to imagine exciting archaeological discoveries in, for example, the exotic Middle East.  But the Western United States can provide interesting archaeological material, as well.  And, it seems, did so in 2015:   http://westerndigs.org/top-5-archaeol...   Posted from Richmond, Virginia (where there’s [Read More...]

New Testament 359

    Matthew 28:16-20 Compare Mark 16:14-18; John 14:23   1.   It’s difficult to imagine that “some doubted” even in the presence of the resurrected Lord.  But the fact of death is so universally well known and so widely understood as definitive, and wishful thinking so generally understood to be a dangerous spur to [Read More...]
