New Testament 333
Matthew 26:69-75 Mark 14:66-72 John 18:25-27 Compare Luke 22:56-72; John 18:15-18 In connection with this story, please read Elder Spencer W. Kimball’s defense of “Peter, My Brother.” See, too, this discussion — and particularly, toward the end, the citation of John Hall’s argument that Jesus’s statement (that Peter would deny him) [Read More...]
Music of Christmas 12
The so-called “Wexford Carol,” which comes from Ireland’s County Wexford and which seems to date back to the twelfth century, may be among the oldest Christmas carols — and, thus, among the oldest pieces still performed — in the Western musical tradition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b6UR...
“The Nativity according to Luke”
The most recent installment of the biweekly column that Bill Hamblin and I do for the Deseret News has just appeared: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/86...

“Julius Caesar battleground unearthed in southern Netherlands”
An interesting find, if it pans out: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015... I’m afraid, though, that it doesn’t paint Julius Caesar in the most attractive light.

“American Muslims raise more than $119,000 for San Bernardino shooting victims”
I’m very pleased to learn of this admirable effort, which was brought to my notice by Nicol Sorenson-Legakis: http://www.people.com/article/america...
“The Prayer”
I was extremely busy yesterday from early in the morning until late at night — it was, among other things, my last teaching day this semester, and one of the classes actually took its final exam — and I missed mentioning yesterday’s “Social” component of the Church’s “A Savior is Born” Christmas campaign: [Read More...]
“Viewing the Temple through Wilford Woodruff’s Eyes”
It’s Friday. So, unsurprisingly, there’s a new article from Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture: http://www.mormoninterpreter.com/view... Have you ever noticed, by the way, the column to the right on the article page indicating the different formats in which that article can be accessed? You can obtain it in print, for example.
