Up
to this point in my life, I have not paid much attention to the work of biblical
scholars. Perhaps I have been influenced by those within the LDS community who are
highly suspicious of their work. Recently, however, I read Authoring the Old Testament: Genesis–Deuteronomy, by LDS scholar David Bokovoy. This outstanding book
has piqued my interest in biblical scholarship and helped me see how biblical
scholarship can contribute much to my understanding of the scriptures.
