http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/ -- Gives dating, synopsis, and sources for various early Christian writings.

http://www.earlyjewishwritings.com/ -- Not as good as "earlychristianwriting" in regards to dating, etc., but it does give good overviews and information for various early Jewish texts.

KJV Online Lexicon -- The NT is a bit harder to navigate than the OT, but an easy and simple tool to find out what the Hebrew and Greek means (Warning though, it relies on "Strongs" which isn't necessarily the best out there).

http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/ -- Journals and Autobiographies of early LDS members.

http://www.tyndale.cam.ac.uk//Scriptures/ -- List of the various English Bibles as well as analysis of the contradictions between them.

Enjoy! :)

Dr. Steuss,

I feel like it's Christmas!

How long has this site been up? I had no idea it was here. I'm babbling aren't I? I'm so excited to see this!

I'm pretty sure it's been up for quite a while. The main page (http://www.boap.org/) can take you to the other gems on the site which include (bolded what I think you might be interested in... as you seem to be a history buff):

Annotated Joseph Smith History

The Parallel Joseph (known sources of Joseph Smith's public teachings)

Documents of the Early Christian Church and other ancient texts

Nibley on the Facsimiles

Apostasy Papers

...and so on, and so on.

But, you just can't beat the journals IMO.

Stay tuned, maybe I'll give you some more Christmas in a couple of days (don't want to show all of my Aces quite yet).

You're correct, Dr. Mormon history is my passion. In fact, I have already read a number of these journals. I've just never seen them all together in one site like this. Or at least not so many of them.

And thank you for all the additional links. Actually I've never been sure if I could trust an internet site or not, unless it was from the Utah Historical Society, or something like that. Most of the journals I've read have been from books, particularly from the Daughters from the Utah Pioneers, the Utah Historical Society, and the transcripts of the individual journals, that sort of thing.

So that's why I'm so excited to see this. Really, I feel like a pig in mud right now! :D

CK, If you are ever in Vegas you better let me know. I will meet you up where the Angel points the way.

Ben Raines

You have never invited me to meet you where the Angel points the way. :P

Ben, I know you a bit better so I'd probably just give you my cell phone number and meet you somewhere. ;)

I'm assuming you're talking to Ben? Sorry, even angels can't convince me to meet with married women. :animatedtongue:

Hahaha, j/k. :lol:

CK please don't use that "M" word when talking about me. hahahaha

Well, well, then...so uh...how old are you and uh...are you available? Hahahaha, j/k.

I have "met" some cool people on this site though...it'd be cool to hang out with a few in reality someday. Perhaps in heaven, who knows? B)

Strawberry and I have a code worked out. Whenever she replies with just a :lol: emoticon, it really means, "I agree."

So that's three votes for banning Ben and Palerider. Duh, duh, duh! :wow:
