Margaret Barker | The School of Isaiah, The Temple, and The Book of Mormon

[@WolfWojtyla]

As a Catholic, I loved this interview, my LDS brothers! There is always so much richness revealed when people of different traditions get together for discussion, with a disposition of openness and goodwill. I look forward to more.

I feel that Margaret Barker’s works have taught me more about my own religion than almost any other thing I have come across…she opened my mind up in the most profound way, and enabled me to understand concepts such as the temple, Heavenly Mother, Melchizedek Priesthood, the veil etc that opened my mind, enlarged my soul, and became delicious to me.

I watched a recording of Margaret Barker visiting Utah years ago and I walked away so excited to be apart of the restoration! This is so fun to hear directly from Dr. Barker.

[@loudogg73]

I loved how completely non-defensive she is. I have no doubt she disagrees with certain LDS doctrines yet didn't push back but just talked about her area of expertise.

[@sama.scraps]

She has had many contacts and visits with LDS scholars. She either “got over it”or has been open from the beginning. I suspect she was pretty open because her subject matter would require a person with an open mind and heart to study it. It’s a bit controversial.

[@gingersnaps215]

@MissionaryScottishWarrior male trees don’t produce fruit. The fruit is produced from the female sex organ, the ovary, which you can see behind female flowers (either on female plants or on monoecious

[@gingersnaps215]

@MissionaryScottishWarrior I can’t edit my original post, so I apologize for the second post here, but male flowers produce pollen, which is obviously essential for fruit production. And plants that are basically hermaphroditic and have both sex organs on one flower may still need a second or third plant nearby for best fruit production, but not always.

No way!!!!! MY GUYS!!!! YOU GOT THE G.O.A.T.!!! YOU KNOW HOW LONG I BEEN DYING FOR MORE MARGARET BARKER INTERVIEWS???

For anyone curious who wants to find more of her interviews and presentations, FAIR has a few of them, and there's another channel called History Valley, Jacob the host interviews all kinds of biblical studies related guests, including the venerable Margaret Barker.

[@royhouse1457]

It is interesting how Margaret Barker and Dave Butler interacted. Margaret seemed intent as she listened to Dave with nods of agreement and likewise Dave when he listened. Watching these two great scholars together is an amazing spiritual experience. Bringing them together is a great accomplishment. The Paul brothers were wonderful with their questions that stimulated Margaret Barker's awesome insights. Margaret treated the Paul brothers as advanced pupils and Dave as a peer. The knowledge expounded was inspiring!

[@terrel_shumway]

Just watched another video in which Dave was fanboying about a time that Margaret included his name in a footnote. She is his hero and he is trying hard not to embarrass himself.

It is interesting to hear Dave speak the language of scholarship with Margaret. He is much more restrained than when he talks on Ward Radio and The Stick of Joseph.

This interview is Uh-Mazing!!!! I’ve been researching this topic, as a non Bible scholar, but as I study I have begun seeing this divide and contradictions in the Bible. Yet a purity remains in Isaiah. So to watch this interview is music to my ears and so confirming and enlightening.

[@sharonbauer-pp1ws]

No wonder Christ quoted and commanded those in the new world to study and follow Isaiah as he did!

Isaiah was commanded to write in code so his writing could not be corrupted by the Deuteronomist scribes. Isaiah 6:9-10

To some extent? The Jews not only continue to reject Jesus Christ but they are hostile to Christianity, particularly in Israel. The very small number of converted Jews is just that, statistically insignificant.

I have always wanted to hear from Ms. Baker! Her books opened up a world for me. Thank you! What a gift she is.

[@timwrightfamily740]

The scripture Dave is referring to is found in the Book of Baruch, which is part of the Deuterocanonical books included in the Catholic and Orthodox Christian Old Testaments but not in the Hebrew Bible or most Protestant Bibles. The passage emphasizes that true wisdom comes from knowing and following God’s laws rather than understanding the physical creation. Baruch 3:14 states: “Learn where there is wisdom, where there is strength, where there is understanding, that you may at the same time discern where there is length of days and life, where there is light for the eyes and peace.”

[@BehavingBradly]

Thanks for sharing the source. I love the deuteroncanonicals, I wish we included them in our LDS Bibles. We already recognize their value as stated in D&C 91 and we should be reading them.
