Reviews
"Extraordinary commentary on this least likely of scriptures... Givens's review of the response of Latter-day Saint scholars is the best single account of the controversy I know." -- Richard Lyman Bushman, BYU Studies Quarterly "In this deeply researched study of the Pearl of Great Price, Terryl Givens argues that the smallest of the Restoration's books of scripture has had the most influence on doctrine. The Book of Moses is a powerhouse of doctrinal generation, and Abraham is not far behind. The authors' analyses put all of the books of the Pearl of Great Price, some of them wrapped in controversy, in an entirely new light." -- Richard Bushman, author of Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling "This fascinating book delves deeply into the text and context of the most revolutionary scripture in the LDS canon. Insiders and outsiders to the church will alike profit from the authors' exploration of Joseph Smith's re-workings of the Bible; of Smith's understanding of Abraham in the context of Egypt; and above all of the doctrine of theosis - the transformative belief that men may become gods." -- Noah Feldman, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Harvard University "This book presents a searching and sustained analysis of The Pearl of Great Price, one of the most controversial and under-examined works in the LDS canon. It is at once interpretive and historical, arguing for the centrality of Joseph Smith's later revelations to an understanding of his church. Readers seeking explanation of both the power and the vexations of Mormon theological claims should begin with this elegant, insightful study." -- Laurie Maffly-Kipp, Archer Alexander Distinguished Professor in the Humanities, Washington University in St. Louis, "Extraordinary commentary on this least likely of scriptures...

Synopsis
The Pearl of Greatest Price narrates the history of Mormonism's fourth volume of scripture, canonized in 1880 as The Pearl of Great Price. The authors track its predecessors, describe its several components, and assess their theological significance within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From the disputed origins of Smith's "Book of Abraham," to perceived discrepancies between Smith's canonized visionary account and other versions, the status of this text is vital to the church's present health and future prospects., The Pearl of Greatest Price narrates the history of Mormonism's fourth volume of scripture, canonized in 1880. The authors track its predecessors, describe its several components, and assess their theological significance within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Four principal sections are discussed, along with attendant controversies associated with each. The Book of Moses purports to be a Mosaic narrative missing from the biblical version Genesis. Too little treated in the scholarship on Mormonism, these chapters, produced only months after the Book of Mormon was published, actually contain the theological nucleus of Latter-day Saint doctrines as well as a virtual template for the Restoration Joseph Smith was to effect.Most controversial of all is the Book of Abraham, a production that arose out of a group of papyri Smith acquired, along with four mummies, in 1835. Most of the papyri disappeared in the great Chicago Fire, but surviving fragments have been identified as Egyptian funerary documents. That fact, and the translations Smith attempted from the hieroglyphs on surviving vignettes, have convinced most Egyptologists that Smith's work was fraudulent or inept. LDS scholars, however, have developed several frameworks for vindicating the inspiration of the resulting narrative and Smith's calling as a prophet. A third chapter attempts to make sense of Smith's several, at times divergent, accounts of his First Vision, one of which is canonized as scripture. And a fourth chapter assesses the creedal nature of Smith's "Articles of Faith," in the context of his professed anti-creedalism. In sum, this study chronicles the volume's historical legacy and theological indispensability to the Latter-day Saint tradition, as well as the reasons for its resilience and future prospects in the face of daunting challenges., The Pearl of Greatest Price narrates the history of Mormonism's fourth volume of scripture, canonized in 1880.

Too little treated in the scholarship on Mormonism, these chapters, produced only months after the Book of Mormon was published, actually contain the theological nucleus of Latter-day Saint doctrines as well as a virtual template for the Restoration Joseph Smith was to effect. In The Pearl of Greatest Price, the author covers three principal parts that are the focus of many of the controversies engulfing Mormonism today. These parts are The Book of Abraham, The Book of Moses, and The Joseph Smith History. Most controversial of all is the Book of Abraham, a production that arose out of a group of papyri Smith acquired, along with four mummies, in 1835. Most of the papyri disappeared in the great Chicago Fire, but surviving fragments have been identified as Egyptian funerary documents. This has created one of the most serious challenges to Smith's prophetic claims the LDS church has faced.

- s***r (55)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe price was perfectly reasonable for the product, and the book arrived promptly and in great condition—like new, as described: the slightest bit of noticeable use and that was it. The seller wrapped it in literally 6 layers of protection (cardboard, bubble wrap, waterproof, etc.), which seemed like overkill but was much appreciated. My wife was so impressed that she demanded I leave a positive review immediately—and she was right. I’d be happy to do business with this seller again.Aliens Vs Predator 1991 Dark Horse Comics FREE SHIPPING (Nr. 187375163260)
