With the risk of infringing on the schtick of our other days, let's start today's summary with a quote from this episode, attributed to Jack B. Worthy: "I hadn't even studied Mormonism, which is typical of the vast majority of Mormons..." In Sarah's words, if the question we are asking today is, does the Mormon church use information control when dealing with its members...duh. Sarah's recent appearance on Almost Awakened with Bill Reel. Sarah discusses psychedelics within therapy and spirituality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd_kNpNiDcc Steven Hassan: The BITE model. https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/ Recovering Agency by Luna Lindsey Corbden.

This is a response to Thomas Wayment's presentation to Dialogue Journal of Mormon Thought on Joseph of Egypt as a gay prophetic character. The primary purpose of this episode is to show where Critical Social Justice is leading to within LDS scholarship and how it will arrive at the Book of Mormon. Secondarily, I give a minimal response to Professor Wayment's points of support such as the Coat of Many Colors (fancy) and the contrast between Joseph and his brothers.

Welcome to the Latter-day Saint Perspectives Podcast. I’m your host Laura Harris Hales. I created this podcast over four and a half years ago. As I prepare to shutter the production, I am going to follow the example of fellow podcaster Nick Galieti and post an introductory episode explaining how this podcast got started, what I hoped to accomplish, and what you can expect as you listen. The story of this podcast began in June 2016. After co-authoring the book, Joseph Smith’s Polygamy: Toward a Better Understanding and the website josephsmithspolygamy.org, my husband and I were asked to speak at a conference held in Sweden. After our presentation, I was approached by a local member, who mentioned he was grateful my husband and I as well as other conference presenters traveled so far to visit with the Swedish members. “We don’t have many options when we want to learn about church history,” he said. "Many of the books published in the United States are difficult to get ahold of here,” he continued. “So we are left with only listening to podcasts from antagonistic sources or devotional ones. There is no middle ground.” Then, he looked into my eyes and asked, “Can you help us? Can you give us a podcast that gives us an alternative?” I was fresh off my experience with compiling and editing, A Reason for Faith: Navigating LDS History and Doctrine. It had been such a positive experience where all of the pieces seemed to fall naturally into place. So when I returned to the US, I approached this new project with the same fearless gusto. Latter-day Saint Perspectives would interview respected LDS scholars about church history, doctrine, and culture from a faithful perspective. With new audio equipment and a quivering voice, I taped my first interview with Thomas Wayment, which aired on September 19, 2016. Our topic was the Historical Jesus. It was rough and awkward, but to my great surprise and delight listeners tuned in. Million of worldwide downloads later, it is with a appreciative heart that I say goodbye to this project. I am thankful for the man who had the courage to approach me with his request, grateful to the guest podcasters who also shared my vision, indebted to the many outlets among them Meridian Magazine, the Mormon Interpreter, and LDS Living that reposted my material, and forever beholden to the scholars who volunteered to share their knowledge gained from years of study. When I started this podcast, I hoped to present the most recent academic scholarship to a general audience from a faithful but not necessarily devotional perspective. I also hoped to take a deeper dive into Latter-day Saint topics than listeners could typically find in Sunday School discussions. Through the years, Latter-day Saint Perspectives has done just that. We have interviewed noted scholars about recent works as well as older but influential publications. I invite those new to the podcast to check out our complete catalog on their favorite podcast application or at Latter-day Saint Perspectives.com. On the website, you can locate additional episodes on similar topics as well as check out a new feature. While we will not be regularly releasing new episodes (I hesitate to say never here), our newly designed website contains a new feature. Periodically, I will be posting bite-sized blogs about books, podcasts, and video features that promote the best in Latter-day Saint scholarship. If this is something that interests you, then subscribe at latter-daysaintperspectives.com. I have been the most unlikely of podcast hosts. Not only do I suffer from more social anxiety than average but also my vocal talents are limited. What I do have is a lot of questions. Fortunately, I was able to spend hours with scholars who have become my friends and have answered some of them. Thanks, listeners, for sharing this journey with me. In 2016, there were not a lot of options for those seeking academic enrichment from a faith...

In a previous interview with Dr. Thomas Wayment, Thom showed how Joseph Smith used Adam Clarke’s Commentary to correct various passages in the New Testament. Biblical scholar Colby Townsend says it isn’t just the New Testament, and we talk about how Adam Clarke affected Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. GT: Hmm. Well, and […] The post Adam Clarke’s Impact on Book of Mormon (Part 6 of 7) appeared first on Gospel Tangents.
For the Latter-day Saint Perspectives Podcast’s fourth season, we will be highlighting chapters from the much-anticipated volume, Producing Ancient Scripture: Joseph Smith’s Translation Projects in the Development of Mormon Christianity edited by Michael Hubbard MacKay, Mark Ashurst-McGee, and Brian M. Hauglid. In anticipation for our fourth-year launch on September 16, 2020, we will be rereleasing interviews with chapter authors. This week’s feature first aired as Episode 55. In our discussion, Dr. Thomas A. Wayment covers his research for his chapter “A Recovered Resource: The Use of Adam Clarke’s Bible Commentary in Joseph Smith’s Bible Translation.” Be sure to listen through the end credits to hear information about our new show feature “Comments and Questions from Readers,” which provides opportunities for listeners to submit content for future episodes as well as to receive gift cards and free books. From episode 55: In this episode, Laura Harris Hales visits with Thomas Wayment, Latter-day Saint Perspectives Podcast’s guest on episode one, in part two of our special first anniversary double episode on the Joseph Smith Translation to discuss some impressive findings regarding Joseph Smith’s Bible translation process. Dr. Wayment is currently a professor of Greek at BYU. He earned his BA in Classics from the University of California at Riverside then completed a PhD in New Testament studies at Claremont Graduate University. Known primarily as a New Testament scholar, Dr. Wayment has also written extensively on the Joseph Smith Translation. He became fascinated with the document early in his biblical studies and that interest has never really fizzled. In his recent studies, Wayment found an interesting connection between the JST and a biblical commentary well-known in the 19th-century, especially in Methodist circles. Adam Clarke, a British theologian, took almost 40 years to complete his comprehensive tome, published as The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The text carefully printed from the most correct copies of the present Authorized Version. Including the marginal readings and parallel texts. With a Commentary and Critical Notes. Clarke’s commentary became a primary theological resource for nearly two centuries. New research by Michael Hubbard Mackay has uncovered a statement indicating that Joseph Smith had access to a copy of Clarke’s Bible commentary. When Wayment compared Joseph’s translation of the KJV Bible to Clarke’s commentary, he realized that Smith used it in the translation process because of the marked similarities he found between entries in the commentary and changes in Joseph’s KJV Bible. Listen in as Dr. Wayment shares what he believes this indicates about how the Prophet viewed the translation process and what it could mean for how we approach the KJV Bible and the JST.

Profound insights on the Savior's Ultimate Sacrifice with New Testament scholar Dr. Thomas Wayment. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/foreverlds/support
Few scholars have the expertise, let alone the confidence, to embark on a new translation of the New Testament for Latter-day Saints. Fortunately, Thomas Wayment has enough of both. When Wayment sat down for this conversation with Terryl Givens, he was a professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University, but has recently moved to teaching classical studies at the university. His new translation was published by Deseret Book and the BYU Religious Studies Center—just in time for the church’s 2019 focus on the New Testament. This conversation focuses on his new translation and new perspectives he gained during the process, including some surprises.
A few months ago, Dr. Thomas Wayment made headlines in the Mormon community when he came out with news that the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible relied heavily on Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary. https://youtu.be/UOvu0O88sXM Thom: A student assistant of mine, Haley Wilson-Lemmon, was working for me about four years ago now. And I've worked on the JST my whole career. It's been interesting because it makes a claim to originality, at least modern Mormons claim that. And so, I've been probing it throughout my career. And, I had begun to think that Joseph Smith used a variety of sources, but I hadn't nailed it down. And so, I said to Haley, I think you should take Buck's Theological Dictionary. I think you should take Thomas Scott's Notes and I think you should take Adam Clarke and start comparing it to a series of test passages in the JST and just see what crops up because I'm suspecting there's influence, but I don't know. And she comes back, and we look at the column of Adam Clarke and it's overwhelming. There are some strong parallels. And so, over the course of about 12-14 months, Haley compared every single JST to all of these and we have a massive amount of data, and sure enough it. It's very clear. It's conclusive that Joseph Smith used Adam Clarke. And when I say use, I want to stick by that term. This isn't him simply saying, "Okay, here's three sentences in Clarke. I'm going to copy it out and call that inspiration." It's not that. He has words that come from Clarke that now come into kind of an expanded sentence that Joseph has created. Clarke will recommend flipping the order of verses and Joseph will do that. Weird words like unicorn in Isaiah, Joseph will go to [Clarke] to realize that's not unicorn. And so, he'll add [Clarke]'s statement about it or he'll say, this is re'em. What implications does that have for Latter-day Saints of faith? Thom: That's really been how the conversation has kind of taken life, which in some ways is unfortunate. In some ways it is a good moment for pause. What I see as a scholar is it's confronted a narrative about the JST that people have, that the JST is a moment of absolute revelation. No other influences happened that he was giving us the Bible as it was originally. And if you had that view, it's going to be a hard thing. And, yet as a historian, it's unfortunate. Joseph never made that claim. He never tells us that the Lord commanded him to start it. There is no revelation that currently exists where he is directed or says he was directed to go translate the Bible. We find him recording a commandment to work on Matthew but not Genesis. And so, in this sense, he never canonized it. He never, if you will, said, "This is the original Bible." And during this time, he has another statement that we refer to as a revelation. "Seek ye out learning from the best books." And for heaven's sakes, that's what he's doing it. It's really a practical process. I suspect that there are other sources. I suspect it's not just Clarke and in the coming years, I'll play that hand a little more broadly. But this is him working on the Bible. For the Latter-day Saint who feels confronted by this, we know he studied Hebrew after this. He's trying to engage both his role as prophet, so he owns the text in one sense, but he continually feels like, "I need some training." And Clarke is a really good resource of the day and a modern scholar wouldn't feel that and I don't feel that, but of the day it's very good and I think he comes to trust Clarke. I think later he says, "Well, maybe I could learn Hebrew. And he does some work in Hebrew in Kirtland 1835 period. And I think again, like he went with the Book of Mormon, he went to Luther Bradish, he goes to Charles Anthon and others to say, "Can you help me?" Or, "Can you translate this?" He has a scholarly component in every one of his translations and that to me seems pretty normal. But, maybe to the modern believer it might confront a narra...
As Latter-day Saints begin to dig into the New Testament as part of this year's scripture study, a terrific new resource, a translation from the Greek with wonderful notes, has arrived on the scene. The New Testament: A Translation for Latter-day Saints (A Study Bible) by Thomas A. Wayment, published by the Religious Studies Center at BYU in cooperation with Deseret Book, can stimulate discussions among Latter-day Saints about the authorship and dating of each part of the New Testament, the context in which each was written, textual issues at play that lead some passages we are used to seeing in the King James Version to be dropped while opening up others to broader meanings than we typically speak about in church, and much more—all of it quite relevant in our own Christian lives and how we interact with Jesus's core messages and his calls for us to follow. This episode is an interview with Thom Wayment about his new translation as well as the entire project of figuring out how best to present it in book form. Within the conversation, Thom and Mormon Matters host Dan Wotherspoon discuss a wide range of things, but most often with a focus on "what difference could this make in how we understand our own faith?" Who wrote the Gospels? Which of the Pauline epistles are not written by Paul? What aspects of Paul's writings and teachings influenced the Gospel writers who all created their texts after Paul had died? The Jesus of history is significantly different from the Christ of Paul, so what does teasing that apart open for us and how we approach Jesus's teachings and our own reading of the New Testament? In what ways are we asking certain texts, or even just particular verses, to do a lot of work for us (be foundational) in the LDS tradition that skew our understandings of the early Christian movement and developing church? In what ways does approaching our reading with more information about the texts' origins lead us, should we let them, to a more enlivened faith, a more energetic interaction with what it was about Jesus and his life and messaging that led so many people to give their lives (at times, literally, their own life) to spreading its influence? There is a freshness to our Bible studies that this book can bring if we will truly dive into the scholarship presented along with a plain English translation (none of this "thee, thy, thou, thine" stuff, or archaic phrasings, folks!) that also includes a much clearer picture of the role of women in the early church. This is a book and study year that we hope will be quite transformational.
Joseph Smith wrote Article of Faith 8: “We Believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly.” But has anyone ever identified these errors? BYU professor Dr. Thomas Wayment has identified known biblical errors, such as this one! https://youtu.be/KOTZYeVj8ig Thom: 1st John 5:7, that verse is forged in our Bible. When you go to Sunday School and you read 1st John 5:7, there is no scholar on the planet, I believe that would say that verse is original. We know when it's forged. We know why it's forged and so that's comes out. GT: See, I've done a lot of Mark Hofmann stuff. So, this is fascinating to me. So tell me about that. What does the verse say and why do you say it is forged? Thom: It's a trinitarian verse, and what I mean by that is it says that there is God the Father, the son, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. And so, the verse is forged, and I should have looked up the exact date on this.* But, we know exactly the century when this happens. There's no manuscript prior to that. And when it happens, we believe it's probably written in the margin at first, like "This is what this means," or something and somebody migrates that into the text. So, in our King James [Bible], it's a fascinating story how we have it. The person who put together the Greek text for our King James Bible went to his local ecclesiastical leaders and said, "This verse isn't in my manuscripts." And they produce a manuscript for him that has it, that's a forgery itself. And say, "You better put this in." We are confident this is a forged verse. This is going to be a very cool conversation. We'll talk about biblical errors known by scholars, and which versions of the Bible are the best. This is a conversation you won't want to miss! Check out our conversation….

I'm excited to talk more about some of the Christmas legends that we're all familiar with. Did Herod really kill hundreds of babies? BYU Professor Dr. Thomas Wayment answers these questions. https://youtu.be/mqdXpb05m8w Thom: I've heard it taught in a history class. I've heard it taught in Sunday School. I've heard it talked about popularly. And there's always a surprise by the Sunday School crowd that as you said it, "Why doesn't this crop up in Tacitus or Suetonius or some of our other historians?" And the scholarly community perhaps would note, "I would be surprised if it did." We're talking about a very small village, 200-300 people. And I don't want to minimize this. I want to be really careful that anybody listening understands. I'm not trying to say it's not a big deal that one or two babies passed away, but one or two babies passing away in a pogrom[1] or this kind of search to get Jesus wouldn't typically appear in a historical source. So, it's not unbelievable, but it's not quite the divide that some crowds make it. GT: You think it's as small as one or two babies? Because I always thought it was like hundreds of babies that were killed under the age of two. Thom: No, no. They said this is a very small area. We're talking Bethlehem and we're talking a rural village and we just don't have the population density. Where did the Wise Men come from? GT: In the video that I saw, and I'm just going to call them Iranian. Zoroastrians or whatever, I can't even say that word. But, the video that I saw said, "Hey, these are people that came from our enemy, Persia. And that Persia and Rome were enemies essentially. So, Herod was greatly troubled. So, what do you think of that? Thom: That's a really fascinating insight. To back up just little bit and give everybody here a couple of thoughts to work on. The reason that we think they are Zoroastrian is that that word "magoi" does appear in the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament. And it refers to people from that area and the fact that we are calling them Magoi, "Magicians" is the modern word, but we favor Wise men, is not a positive term. So, the modern reader sees these as a positive moment in the story. But if they were appearing in Jeremiah, who uses the word, I believe it's Jeremiah, he uses it very negatively. These are people that are kind of outside of Israel, they're condemned, etc. And so, that's one dynamic in the story. BYU New Testament scholar Thomas Wayment discusses these Christmas favorites. What do we know about the Christmas star? What can historians tell us about these stories? Did they really happen or are they mere legends? Check out our conversation.... Dr. Thomas Wayment of BYU thinks Herod likely killed just a few babies while searching for the Christ child. He also says "Magi" weren't respected in ancient Israel. Check out our other Christmas episodes! 228: Separating Fact and Fiction on Birth of Christ (Wayment) 229: Was Jesus Born in December?(Chadwick) [1] A pogrom is organized massacre of a certain ethnic group.
I'm excited to have Dr. Thomas Wayment discuss fact and fiction surrounding stories of the birth of Christ. Dr. Wayment is a New Testament scholar at BYU. You may want to bookmark this page as later in the week we will compare notes with fellow scholar Dr. Jeffrey Chadwick, who think Jesus was born in December. Is there such clarity in the New Testament? Tom and co-author Lincoln Blumell wrote an article in BYU Studies on the dating of Christ's birth. https://youtu.be/K74TTz-RpXs Tom: Our intent wasn't to say, "It's not really December, it's April." Our intent was to say "We can't know within that kind of time frame, especially not a month." A year, we might get within a year or two is about the best we can do. What is the span of years that we can pinpoint the birth of Jesus? Tom: It seems that everyone agrees that Herod was alive when Jesus was born. That gives us a pretty good point after which we can start talking. Herod dies in 4 B.C. That's a date there is not a lot of dispute about. I've seen a recent monograph and some are saying maybe spring of 5 B.C. ... One real monkey-wrench here is that Luke says that there was a census by a man named Quirinius or Cyrenius in translation that a lot of Latter-day Saints use, and he is governor in Syria in 6 A.D. So there is no possible way that Herod is alive and Cyrenius does a census. So there is a decade gap between these two dates. What does Tom think is the best date? Check out our conversation.... Is it true that estimate range from 5 B.C. to 6 A.D for the birth of Jesus?

In this episode, Laura Harris Hales visits with Thomas Wayment, LDS Perspectives Podcast’s guest on episode one, in part two of our special first anniversary double episode on the Joseph Smith Translation to discuss some impressive findings regarding Joseph Smith's Bible translation process. Dr. Wayment is currently a professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University, as well as publications director of the BYU Religious Studies Center. He earned his BA in Classics from the University of California at Riverside then completed a PhD in New Testament studies at Claremont Graduate University. Known primarily as a New Testament scholar, Dr. Wayment has also written extensively on the Joseph Smith Translation. He became fascinated with the document early in his biblical studies and that interest has never really fizzled. In the next year, he will have two book chapters published on new findings regarding Joseph's Bible translation process. In his recent studies, Wayment found an interesting connection between the JST and a biblical commentary well-known in the 19th-century, especially in Methodist circles. Adam Clarke, a British theologian, took almost 40 years to complete his comprehensive tome, published as The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The text carefully printed from the most correct copies of the present Authorized Version. Including the marginal readings and parallel texts. With a Commentary and Critical Notes. Clarke's commentary became a primary theological resource for nearly two centuries. New research by Michael Hubbard Mackay has uncovered a statement indicating that Joseph Smith had access to a copy of Clarke’s Bible commentary. When Wayment compared Joseph’s translation of the KJV Bible to Clarke’s commentary, he realized that Smith used it in the translation process because of the marked similarities he found between entries in the commentary and changes in Joseph’s KJV Bible. Listen in as Dr. Wayment shares what he believes this indicates about how the Prophet viewed the translation process and what it could mean for how we approach the KJV Bible and the JST.
