Nibley, Hugh W. “Lehi in the Desert.” Improvement Era in 10 parts running from January 1950 through October 1950.

Virtually all that is known of the world in which Lehi is purported to have lived has been discovered within the last hundred years, mostly within the last thirty. How does this information check with that in the book of 1 Nephi? A classic reflection on Lehi’s world in Arabia: poetry, tree of life, family affairs, politics, imagery, travel, tents, and foods. One of the first attempts to test the Book of Mormon against known geographical and cultural details in the regions where Lehi probably traveled in the Old World.

EDITORS NOTE: With Christmas still fresh in our memories, Professor Hugh Nibley, in this article especially prepared for the readers of the Millennial Star, gives us an interesting insight into what the world looks for in the celebration of Christmas. Nibley briefly looked into the question of whether it is possible that the bewildering profusion of Christmas observances might contain, among other things, a latent longing for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Nibley, Hugh W. “The World of the Jaredites.” A series of articles in Improvement Era in 11 parts running from September 1951 through July 1952.

Reprinted as the second half of Lehi in the Desert and the World of the Jaredites (1952); and reprinted in Lehi in the Desert; The World of the Jaredites; There Were Jaredites. These articles were written in the form of expository letters to a fictitious “Professor F.”

A detailed reconstruction of the epic milieu and ancient historical setting in the third millennium B.C. in Mesopotamia and Asia relative to details about the Jaredites: their ships, shining stones, government, wars, society, and worldview.

M. I. A. General Board. Improvement Era 54, no. 9 (September 1951). Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1951.
Nibley, Hugh W. “Part 1.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 54, no. 9 (September 1951): 628–30, 673–75.

The Improvement Era was an official magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between 1897 and 1970.

The epistolary form of this series of articles, is the style in which the writer most commonly expounds his views. Although “Professor F.” to whom these letters are addressed is a purely fictitious anthropologist in an eastern university, he is typical of many a real correspondent, and the letters themselves are no less typical. If “F.” seems unduly meek and teachable, that is because with the limited space at our disposal it would be folly to engage in long and needless controversies.

Nibley, Hugh W. “Part 2.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 54, no. 11 (October 1951): 704–6, 752–55.

This talks about the teaching of the Lord after his resurrection.

Nibley, Hugh W. “Part 3.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 54, no. 11 (November 1951): 786–87, 833–35.

This talked about how the dead received baptism.

Nibley, Hugh W. “Part 4.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 54, no. 12 (December 1951) 862–63, 946–47.

The Improvement Era was an official magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between 1897 and 1970.

Gives a historical parallel to the Big Wind to show that it such a thing was possible.

Nibley, Hugh W. “Part 5.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 55, no. 1 (January 1952): 22–24.

The Improvement Era was an official magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between 1897 and 1970.

A study into the deseret, or honeybee.

Nibley, Hugh W. “Part 6.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 55, no. 2 (February 1952): 92–94, 98, 100, 102, 104–5.

The Improvement Era was an official magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between 1897 and 1970.

Studies the Jaredite practice of “drawing off” followers to an army to builds its forces and bides its time to show that this was a normal practice at the time.

Nibley, Hugh W. “Part 7.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 55, no. 3 (March 1952): 162–65, 167–68.

The Improvement Era was an official magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between 1897 and 1970.

Looks at ancient thrones and suggests that they all go back to the old Asiatic pattern.

Nibley, Hugh W. “Part 8.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 55, no. 4 (April 1952): 236–38, 258, 260–65.

The purpose of these articles is to (1) call attention to some of the long-ignored aspects of the Joseph Smith account of Enoch in the book of Moses and in the Inspired Version of Genesis and (2) provide at the same time some of the evidence that establishes the authenticity of that remarkable text. Contemporary learning offered few checks to the imagination of Joseph Smith; the enthusiasm of his followers presented none.

Nibley, Hugh W. “Part 9.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 55, no. 5 (May 1952): 316–18, 340, 342, 344, 346.

Addresses the dangers of oversimplifying the scriptures and attempts to look at the Book of Mormon without such oversimplification.

Nibley, Hugh W. “Part 10.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 55, no. 6 (June 1952): 398–99, 462–64.

This exciting and penetrating comparison of the Joseph Smith book of Enoch, with four known variant manuscripts of that ancient work, provides yet another evidence of the Prophet’s inspiration and the scope of his vision in the great work of the Restoration.

Nibley, Hugh W. “Conclusion.” In The World of the Jaredites series, Improvement Era 55, no. 7 (July 1952): 510, 550.

A conclusion to the World of the Jaredites series.

This article argues that vast amounts of marvelous evidences for the Book of Mormon have accumulated. Archaeological evidences include the many discoveries in the Americas—La Venta, Izapa stone, Quetzalcoatl, bearded-men statues, Egyptian type burials, arts, metals, and textiles. The writings of sixteenth-century Indian historians, such as the Totonicapan, Popol Vuh, Annals of the Cakchiquels, and the Works of Ixtlilxochitl, and the writings of the sixteenth-century Catholic priests Bernardino de Sahagun, Bishop Bartholome de Las Casas, Diego de Landa, and Juan de Torquemad present correlations and correspondences to the Book of Mormon.

Keywords: Ancient America – Mesoamerica; Ancient America – South America; Annals of the Cakchiquels; Archaeology; Bartholome; External Evidence; Native Americans – Maya; Native Americans – Olmec; Native Americans – Toltec; Popol Vuh; Pre-Columbian American History; Quetzalcoatl; Title of the Lords of Totonicapan; Works of Ixtlilxochitl; de Las Casas

A discussion of the three main arguments modern claimants fall back on to save at least the tattered remnants of the true church: (1) the perfectly irrelevant “gates of hell” passage, (2) the “simple fact” that the church has persisted in the world unintermittently for nigh onto two-thousand years, and (3) that God simply would not allow a comoplete dissolution of his church.

The materials were eventually used in “The Passing of the Church,” Church History 30/2 (June 1961): 131–54; reprinted in When the Lights Went Out (1970): 1–32; in BYU Studies 16/1 (1975): 139–64; in Mormonism and Early Christianity, CWHN 4:209–322; and as “The Passing of the Primitive Church: Forty Variations on an Unpopular Theme,” in When the Lights Went Out (2001), 1–47.
