( ) Barlow writes here a history of the use of the Bible in the LDS (Mormon) Church, starting with how Joseph Smith Jr. read and studied the work and how the use of the Bible changed as different men became prophet-president. Of particular interest was the chapter discussing why the LDS Church use the King James (Authorised) version when other churches transition to more accessible translations. Barlow proposes that since the language of the KJV, its Jacobean heritage, was that which Joseph Smith read and understood, and that it is similar in style to the language of the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants. Altogether this is an interesting, readable, and even-handed book that contributes useful points to the study of the LDS church.
Barlow's historical sketch is very readable, even handed, and, as far as I can tell, reasonably accurate. Ingår i serien
This study offers an in-depth analysis of the approaches taken to the Bible by major Mormon leaders, from its beginnings to the present. It shows that Mormon attitudes toward the Bible comprise an extraordinary mix of conservative, liberal, and radical ingredients: an almost fundamentalist adherence to the King James Version co-exists with belief in the possibility of new revelation and surprising ideas about the limits of human language. This exploration takes important steps toward unraveling the mystery of this quintessential American religious phenomenon. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
