The Disciple As Scholar: Essays on Scripture and the Ancient World in Honor of Richard Lloyd Anderson

by Richard Lloyd Anderson (editor), Stephen D. Ricks (Editor), Donald W. Parry (Editor)

Richard Lloyd Anderson is a scholars' scholar. Among Latter-day Saints, he is dean and master of two separate fields of academic the New Testament and early LDS Church history. His passion for history has profoundly influenced his scholarly career; his passion for order and system has shaped his missionary work and directed him into studying law; and his love for Brigham Young University and loyalty to its mission and destiny have guided his academic path. This volume, as you can see from the table of contents, contains essays written by outstanding LDS scholars on Book of Mormon Studies, Old Testament Studies and Ancient History, and New Testament Studies and Early Christian History.

[Ruth]

I espically enjoyed three essays. "Savior, Satan, and Serpent: The Duality of a Symbol in the Scriptures", "Scribes, Pharisees, Hypocrites" A Study in Hypokrisis, and Ye Are Gods": Psalm 82 and John 10 as Witnesses to the Divine Nature of Humankind.

[Joe Spencer]

There's good and not-so-good here.

Got this as a gift. Looks very good.

[Erneilson]

More challenging reading than its companion volume, but worth reading - essays from some of the LDS Church's best scholars.
