Temple evidences in early Christian art. Also see the documentary, in the works, on Christmas legends, traditions, etc., going back into early Christian beliefs that Christ went to other nations around the world.

Answers to early anti-Christians, as given by early Christian Apologists are interesting cause of how they use the doctrines of: Christ’s world trek, pre-existence, the preaching of the gospel to the spirit prisoners, & deification (becoming like Christ, or gods), as foundational responses to early anti-Christians’ charges that Christ was neglectful of other far away lands & pre-Christian time peoples.

I also cross-reference 2 Nephi 9:18-19 to Jacob 4 and Ezekiel 9. The themes are almost overlapping. Kevin is on to something very powerful. The test is to forsake the natural world.

Thanks Rebecca. I am actually already reading it! One of the perks of attending a big university is I have access to Inter-Library Loan Service. I recieved a copy of Temple Theology last week that was shipped from Iowa!

Barker’s book “Temple Theology” is a wonderful summary of most of her work. Based on 4 talks, it is only about 100 pgs long so you could fit it in. She’s worth it.

This is fascinating material. Thank you for sharing it! Indeed, I may expand on this concept on my blog.

Great post. I was unaware that Tav in ancient Hebrew was written like a diagonal cross. When I get home I want to see if Skousen has anything on the word “mark” in the textual variations of the BoM for the verse.

I think that I am going to have to start reading some Barker but with the new Nibley and Madsen books out, it’s tough to find time. So many books, so little time. I wish we had something like the Matrix where you can learn a book like one can learn Kung Fu in a few seconds!
