David Bokovoy Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Just spent the past seven hours consuming BBQ and talking with Mark Wright, and Don Bradley about the internal complexities of the Book of Mormon. Don shared with us chapter by chapter the information he is exploring in his forthcoming book on the lost 116 pages of the Book of Mormon. See here:http://www.gregkofford.com/products/the-lost-116-pagesThose interested will receive a preview of Don's observations on temple imagery in the book of Lehi at the forthcoming FAIR Conference. All I can say, is in all sincerity, be excited. Be very excited!!I'm not exaggerating when I state that Don's forthcoming publication has the potential of being one of the most important pieces of scholarship to come forth on the Book of Mormon. The man is a genius. And his literary observations demonstrating the internal complexity of the Book of Mormon are highly impressive. Even more important, Don is a very humble, kindly soul, who cares about others.I hope the majority of posters will be able to tune in to his presentation in August. I promise, you won't be disappointed. 2
Scott Lloyd Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I'll be there, and I look forward to hearing his presentation.His talk last year on the Kinderhook Plates broke new ground. 1
Olavarria Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I'm filled with pious envy. Maybe I should have moved to Utah.
kolipoki09 Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Don is a heckuvah nice guy. I really look forward to his book, as well as his FAIR presentation. And, as a matter of coincidence, I purchased my tickets to this year's FAIR Conference just moments before reading this thread. 1
Ron Beron Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I'm filled with pious envy. Maybe I should have moved to Utah.Heck, I want to move there for some of David's BBQ pork butt (notice I had to say pork there).
Deborah Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I'm excited. My weekend of getting the meat of the gospel and having my mind stimulated.

I agree with David's impressions of Don as being a wonderful guy. Can't wait for the next FAIR Conference!
Chris Smith Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I'm kind of bummed I missed out on the barbecue...
David Bokovoy Posted June 24, 2012 Author Posted June 24, 2012 I'm kind of bummed I missed out on the barbecue...I kept thinking I wished you were there. We're going to have to do this again when I get back from San Diego mid July and make certain you come. We'll do ribs next time, even better.
David Bokovoy Posted June 24, 2012 Author Posted June 24, 2012 Heck, I want to move there for some of David's BBQ pork butt (notice I had to say pork there).LOL! And thanks to Bill Hamblin, we all know why!
wenglund Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Fantastic! I am not sure I will be able to make it to the conference this year (I missed last year as well), but I will try. Even though we don't always agree, I have always enjoyed my interactions with Don at the conference and more so here on the discussion board.Thanks, -Wade Englund-
Calm Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I'm excited. My weekend of getting the meat of the gospel....David is going to do his BBQ at the conference?!!!
Greg Kofford Books Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I'm not exaggerating when I state that Don's forthcoming publication has the potential of being one of the most important pieces of scholarship to come forth on the Book of Mormon. We are very excited to publish this in the next few months.
William Schryver Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) We are very excited to publish this in the next few months.Royal and I have, in the past week, discussed Don's forthcoming book, as we have also discussed Don's Kinderhook Plates thesis presented at the FAIR conference last year. Although it remains to be seen where and when we might do so, we would like to critique both of these interesting theses.I have enjoyed an amicable relationship with Don, and you can rest assured that (consistent with my other articles that have been suppressed/delayed by Jerry Bradford over the course of the past couple years) there will be nothing in the way of "ad hominem personal attacks" in these envisioned critiques.In addition, my book-length analysis of the Kirtland Egyptian Papers--which was originally envisioned, at the invitation of Brian Hauglid and John Gee, as a volume in the Maxwell Institute's Studies in the Book of Abraham series of books--will be seeking a press at some point in the next year or so. I already have in mind a particular East Coast university press, but it also occurs to me that Kofford Books might be interested in such a book. Edited June 24, 2012 by William Schryver
Bill Hamblin Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 LOL! And thanks to Bill Hamblin, we all know why!And we all know why Bill wasn't invited too!

He can solidify many members testimonies through his scholarship. I just hope that he can bring his knowledge to the church membership throughout the land.
William Schryver Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 And we all know why Bill wasn't invited too!No doubt because of the rumors that you are "firmly tucked in bed" with me!

David Bokovoy Posted June 24, 2012 Author Posted June 24, 2012 No doubt because of the rumors that you are "firmly tucked in bed" with me! Hey, let's keep this thread at a PG level! And, Will, minor differences in opinion are no reason that we shouldn't break BBQ together next time you're in Utah Valley. A little BBQ, followed by a guitar session would be wonderful, as long as I don't have to be firmly tucked in bed with you or Bill.

volgadon Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 This is a thread about a mind-blowing BBQ, not the navy! 1
Deborah Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 David is going to do his BBQ at the conference?!!!OOOh that would be good!
Bill Hamblin Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 OOOh that would be good!Papa Baka should bring up his grill and fire it up for a fund-raiser. FAIR buys the meat, Papa Baka cooks. One free taste, then you have to buy. I guarantee, no one can eat just one. The money will flow into FAIRs coffers!
