BYU professor to discuss Bible study

PROVO — Kent Jackson, a Brigham Young University professor of ancient scripture, will discuss recent findings from a study of the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible during a lecture today at 2 p.m. in the Harold B. Lee Library auditorium at Brigham Young University.

Jackson worked as part of a team that reproduced in print the handwritten version of the translation in 2004. Among the discoveries the team made were numerous phrases that had been omitted from the translation after Joseph Smith's time because of the odd wording.

Jackson worked on the manuscript for six years. Admission is free.
