About the Book:This book is a hermeneutical work examining certain canonical writings of the LDS faith, comparing them with ancient Near East and Egyptian sources. Considered by many to be a classic in LDS literature, Abraham in Egypt is coming back to print in an enlarged edition published in association with the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (FARMS) in the Collected Works series. In 1968-1970, Hugh Nibley wrote a series of articles for the Improvement Era titled "A New Look at the Pearl of Great Price." Brother Nibley asked that some of these articles be made into chapters to be added to Abraham in Egypt. This is what constitutes the new edition; no changes were made to the original chapters. For the articles, Nibley drew from many Jewish and rabbinical sources, while his work in the first edition was based on Egyptian material. This book defends the Book of Abraham against the critics, showing the similarities between ancient sources and the Book of Abraham. Nibley's research reveals the religious message of the Book of Abraham to the modern world and the Church. Some Book Reviews:Daron rated it & it was amazing!Fantastic book. Having had Professor Nibley as an instructor in college, and knowing a little bit about the man and his incredible skills in languages and history (both ancient and modern), I looked forward to the day when I would have the funds to add this book to my library, and the time to read it. And it did not disappoint! Bravo, Professor. Incredibly well done. Bryce rated it & it was amazing!Very little has been recorded in the Bible regarding Abraham. We knew he was a very good man who obeyed God unquestioningly, but he is really enigmatic. Nibley looks at ancient records from Babylonia, Egypt, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the "Book of Abraham", which was omitted during the initial compilations of the Christian Bible in the 300s A.D.Through his exhaustive research into Abraham's life, one will come to love our father Abraham on a more personal, meaningful level, and will clearly see the Lord's mercy and care for His children, and that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It is a brilliant book that contributes significant new knowledge to our understanding of the ancient world and the world of Abraham.Hugh Nibley was a genius. The man unlocked ancient Egyptian through the use of the Rosetta stone, worked in Bletchley park decyphering the Enigma transmissions from Nazi Germany, and is fluent in seven ancient languages (Latin, Greek, Egyptian, Aramaic, Hebrew, Babylonian, and Sanskrit). Joy Bischoff rated it & it was amazing!This is my fourth time through this book and each time it is like new. Nibley does an amazing job showing world conditions at the time of Abraham and it becomes easier with each reading to apply his life and those conditions to our day and learn what we need to know to understand and deal with modern challenges. Andrea rated it & it was amazing!There is so much in this book that I learned that I couldn't possibly summarize. Copyright © 2018-2022 TDM Inc. The photos and text in this listing are copyrighted.
