Deflected agreement is a grammatical phenomenon found in Semitic languages—it is ubiquitous in Arabic and found occasionally in Classical Hebrew. Deflected agreement is a plausible explanation for certain grammatical incongruities present, in translation, within the original and printer’s manuscripts and printed editions of the Book of Mormon in the grammatical areas of verbal, pronominal, and demonstrative agreement. This finding gives greater credence to the plausibility of the authenticity and historicity of the Book of Mormon. Additionally, the implications of this finding on Book of Mormon scholarship are discussed. Title

WORTHY Of ANOTHER LOOK THE HISTORIcITY Of THE BOOK Of MORMON ELDER DALLIN H. OAKS This paper was originally presented 29 October 1993 at the annual dinner of the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies, Provo, Utah, and was published in Historicity and the Latter-day Saint Scriptures, ed. Paul Y. Hoskisson (Provo, UT: BYU Religious Studies Center, 2001), 237–48. Some who term themselves believing Latterday Saints are advocating that Latter-day Saints should “abandon claims that [the Book of Mormon] is a historical record of the ancient peoples of the Americas.” 1 They are promoting the feasibility of reading and using the Book of Mormon as nothing more than a pious fiction with some valuable contents. These practitioners of so-called higher criticism raise the question of whether the Book of Mormon, which our prophets have put forward as the preeminent scripture of this dispensation, is fact or fable—history or just a story. The historicity—historical authenticity—of the Book of Mormon is an issue so fundamental that it rests first upon faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the first principle in this, as in all other matters. However, on the subject of the historicity of the Book of Mormon, there are many subsidiary issues that could each be the subject of a book. It is not my purpose to comment on any of these lesser issues, either those that are said to confirm the Book of Mormon or those that are said to disprove it. Those lesser issues are, however, worthy of attention. Elder Neal A. Maxwell quoted Austin Farrer’s explanation: “Though argument does not create conviction, the lack of it destroys belief.

这篇论文最初是在1993年10月29日犹他州普罗沃市古代研究和摩门教研究基金会的年度晚宴上发表的，并发表在Paul Y. Hoskisson编辑的《历史性和后期圣徒经文》(普罗沃市，犹他州:杨百翰宗教研究中心，2001年)237-48页。一些自称相信后期圣徒的人主张后期圣徒应该“放弃[摩尔门经]是古代美洲民族的历史记录的说法”。他们在宣传阅读和使用《摩门经》的可行性，认为它不过是一部虔诚的小说，里面有一些有价值的内容。这些所谓高等批判的实践者提出了这样一个问题:我们的先知所提出的《摩门经》是这个时代最卓越的经文，它是事实，还是寓言历史，还是只是一个故事。摩尔门经的历史性——历史的真实性——是一个非常基本的问题，它首先建立在对主耶稣基督的信仰之上，这是摩尔门经的首要原则，也是所有其他事情的首要原则。然而，关于《摩门经》的历史性，有许多次要的问题，每一个都可以成为一本书的主题。我的目的不是评论这些较小的问题，无论是那些据说证实了《摩门经》的问题，还是那些据说反驳了《摩门经》的问题。然而，那些次要问题值得关注。尼尔·a·麦克斯韦长老引用奥斯汀·法雷尔的解释:“虽然争论不会产生信念，但缺乏争论会摧毁信仰。什么66卷21•1•2012值得再看

Matthew L. Bowen
Royal sonship is a key theme of Mosiah 1–6, including King Benjamin’s seminal address at the temple in Zarahemla (Mosiah 2–5) on the occasion of his son Mosiah’s enthronement. Benjamin, however, caps this covenant sermon, not with an assertion of his son’s royal status and privileges, but with a radical declaration of his people’s royal rebirth (or adoption) as “the children of Christ, his sons and his daughters” (Mosiah 5:7) and their potential enthronement at God’s “right hand” (5:9). Similar to rhetorical wordplay involving proper names found in the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and other ancient texts, Benjamin’s juxtaposition of “sons”/“daughters” and the “right hand” constitutes a deliberate wordplay on his own name, traditionally taken to mean “son of the right hand.” The name of Christ, rather than Benjamin’s own name, is given to all his people as a new name— a “throne” name. However, he warns them against refusing to take upon them this throne name and thus being found “on the left hand of God” (5:10), a warning that also constitutes an allusion to his name. Benjamin’s ultimate hope is for his people’s royal, divine sonship/daughterhood to be eternally “sealed.” Title

Often overlooked in scriptural text, hand and arm gestures are often used to convey meanings that complement the verbal lessons being taught. This article discusses the meaning and significance of four specific gestures referred to in the Book of Mormon: stretching forth one’s hand(s), stretching forth the hand to exert divine power, extending the arm(s) in mercy, and clapping the hands to express joys. Beyond the fascinating meanings of these gestures in the Book of Mormon are the correlations that can be seen in the biblical text and in other Near Eastern cultures. Also insightful, specifically in reference to Moses’s hand movements at the Red Sea, is the way in which the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and other extracanonical writings build on each other to give a fuller interpretive picture.

Much of what is done in Latter-day Saint temples is symbolic. Temple symbolism, however, extends well beyond the ordinances performed within the temples. From the Kirtland Temple’s pulpits representing the different orders of the priesthood to the stones on the Salt Lake Temple representing the universe and one’s relationship to God, exterior temple symbolism complements the principles learned within. The architecture within temples also provides insights into the ordinances. In many temples, murals depicting the different kingdoms of glory and stairs leading to higher areas remind participants of their ascent to God. This article chronicles, in detail, the meanings and development of these and other symbols incorporated into the architecture of modern-day temples. Title

In 1892, when John Gilbert was 90 years old, he made a statement about the process of setting the type for the Book of Mormon at the Grandin Print Shop. John was the compositor (or typesetter) for the 1830 edition of the book. He makes claims about the number of manuscript pages, the number of copies and the price, the number of ems (a measure of type width) per printed page, a comparison of manuscript versus printed pages, a description of the font, the process of receiving the pages to typeset, proofreading the title page, the decision not to correct grammatical errors, scribes for the printer's manuscript, paragraphing and punctuation, capitalization in the manuscript, Gilbert's taking work home to punctuate, and details about the signatures. In every aspect, Gilbert's recollections are either precisely correct or easily explained.
