Fair Book Of Mormon Resource Index Update

[Saleja]

Some of you may be familiar with FAIR's "Book of Mormon resources by chapter and verse", an index of mostly scholarly articles related to the Book of Mormon (organized by what chapter and verse of the book the articles related to) found here:

It has recently been expanded to include some video resources. We've newly included Journey of Faith and the New World Book of Mormon documentary put together by Maxwell Institute. The individual segments of Journey of Faith are available in the sections of the index that cover the passages that best address each of the topics or locations covered in the videos (mostly 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi). We have also linked the roundtables from Interpreter (located in 3 Nephi). The Interpreter discussions that cover the Gaddianton Robbers and the great destruction are some of my favorite resources on those sections.

I watched the Journey of Faith old world yestarday and I own the new world one, both are excellent!

Perhaps the powers-that-be feel it is too speculative to meet your purposes, and it has been some time since I read it, but I also found the following to provide useful commentary, context, and perspective on the slaying of Laban as reported circa 1 Nephi 4:13:

Larson, Val, "Killing Laban: The Birth of Sovereignty in the Nephite Constitutional Order," Journal of Book of Mormon Studies, Volume 16, Issue 1 (2007) 26-41, 84-85. Provo, Utah: Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Studies at Brigham Young University, available on line at http://maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/publications/jbms/?vol=16&num=1&id=430, last accessed today.
