Tvedtnes, John A.; DEFINING THE WORD - Understanding the History and Language of the Bible
Covenant Communications, Inc., 2006, American Fork, UT: Paperback, New,
Brand New!; In this fascinating volume, John Tvedtnes, respected LDS scholar and scriptorian, takes the mystery out of the language of the King James Bible. Written to help readers of the Bible become familiar with both the history and process of its translation and some of the more difficult words that it uses, this work also enhances our understanding of the language in all of our standard works. As our knowledge of scriptural language is enhanced, so also is our understanding of the message. For example, many names used in both the Old and New Testaments are obscured because of the translation from Hebrew to Greek. The Prophet Joseph Smith was keenly aware of this when he wrote, “We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly” (AF 1: 8). As Dr. Tvedtnes points out, this divinely inspired pronouncement is one with which translators of the Bible over the centuries have concurred. Lovers of history, lovers of language, and lovers of the word of God will all find this an insightful and inspiring text—words that have been mere casual acquaintances will become old friends as the word of God becomes more plain and precious. ; 6" x 9"; 138 pages,

Tvedtnes, John A.; Most Correct Book
Cedar Fort, Inc., 2004, Springville, UT: Paperback, New,
Brand new softcover, never been read!; Over the years, Book of Mormon scholars have noticed extraordinary clues hidden in its subtle details. Many of these have proven the source of convincing evidence that the Book of Mormon is a genuine history. This outstanding work by a scholar of Middle Eastern antiquities presents some of that evidence. Included are insights about discoveries made since the time of Joseph Smith that suggest the ancient existence and nature of "reformed Egytptian; " newly discovered texts that show Jeremiah really did testify of the Savior, as taught in the Book of Mormon; Old World writings that support the brother of Jared's idea of lighting Jaredite barges with stones touched by the Savior; evidence that Laban was involved in a conspiracy with the Elders in Jerusalem which was much like those of the Gadianton Robbers; the old-world profession of Lehi and his sons; some eye-opening similarities between the slaying of Laban by Nephi and the slaying of the Egyptian by Moses; the probable timing of the Savior's visit to the Nephites; the similarity of untranslated words in the Book of Mormon (like "ziff") to words in certain Middle Eastern languages; why oaths in the Book of Mormon were relied on in war, and ancient texts that uphold Nephi's teachings about Satan. A powerful testimony of Joseph Smith's prophetic calling, this book demonstrates the inspired nature of the work he described as "the most correct book on earth. "; 6" x 9"; 329 pages,
