I explore the literalness of Joseph Smith and Kevin Barney's Semitic Adaptation of the Facsimiles and Papyri theory and show that, while ingenious, it is fatally flawed.

Laxworm and Coach Bear Show - Kevin Barney

When the Jaredites traveled to the Americas, they brought "with them deseret, which, by interpretation, is a honey bee” (Ether 2:3). Hugh Nibley proposed a possible Egyptian explanation for the origins of this word. Kevin Barney alternatively suggested deseret is connected to the Hebrew word for bee "deborah". While we may never know the exact meaning, these possibilities provide plausible explanations and evidences to the term deseret. Read at bit.ly/know236

The voice of Mormon Apologetics in the past has been predomintely male. In this episode we explore the intersection of gender and Mormon Apologetics.  We discuss the reasons that this may be as well as how this tradition is changing and creating  a space for more and more women amungst this forum.  In this episode, we are pleased to have with us a strong panal: Nancy Ross, Assistant Professor of Art History at Dixie State Universtiy and has a Ph.D. from the university of Cambridge.  She has been blogging the Book of Mormon chapter by chapter with a feminist perspective at nickelonthenacle.blogspot.com .

He also serves of the board of directors for FAIR Mormon and Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought.

She recently completed an advanced Diploma in Religious Studies at the University of Cambridge. She earned a Bachelors from BYU in Marriage, Family, and Human Development..

These episodes (186 & 187) constitute the second of our three-part series on Hugh Nibley (1910-2005), focusing this time on Nibley as scholar of the ancient world and the ways he applied this scholarship to places of intersection with LDS scripture, history, and theology. In these episodes, Mormon Matters host Dan Wotherspoon is joined by Nibley biographer Boyd Petersen, along with Mormon scholars Brian Hauglid and Kevin Barney, for a discussion of Nibley’s areas of scholarly interest both outside of Mormonism and inside, the types of work he did, and the approaches he took--primarily seeking for and writing about parallels between Mormon textual clues and ideas with those found in antiquity--including an examination of criticisms of that approach. They also discuss an often-made critique that Nibley’s footnotes/citations contain many mistakes and/or push beyond what the texts actually say. Each also shares ways that Nibley’s scholarship and defenses of the Mormon tradition have affected their own lives and faith journeys. A delightful conversation!

In this panel discussion our panelists Jenne A and Jenni B are joined by their friends Jena and Genevieve to present an interpretation of the garment symbols that includes the Divine Feminine. In addition to the meaning they give the symbols, they have also created daily rituals that help them to connect to their garments in a positive way. The panelists will be watching the comments to respond to ideas and to elaborate on the symbolism and practices they share in the discussion. Resources and ReferencesLDS Endowment (Be advised: This site contains direct wording and description of the Temple Ceremony) Ephesians 6:11-18 (verse 14 about loins girt with truth, verse 16 about the shield)4-part Godhead Ideas about Multiple Mortal Probations by Jenne AMy Search for the Divine Feminine by Ryan Thomas (Exponent article about why people believe that the Spirit might be female: page 25 in this issue) Eve as Balance to Christ from Daughters of MormonismThe Sacrament of Birth by Analiesa Leonhardt The Two Trees by Valerie Hudson How to Worship Our Mother In Heaven (Without Getting Excommunicated) by Kevin BarneyJenne A's blog post on the above articleTwo Facebook Groups that Happened as a Result of this Panel DiscussionWildly Speculative (Feminist) Mormon Theology Mormon Moon Circle: Once a month on the new moon this group (which includes the women from the panel discussion) hold a "live" meeting where they explore and enhance their spirituality by sharing experiences or epiphanies they’ve had, and doing a group visualization/meditation and prayer circle.
