	Hugh Nibley - No Ma'am That's Not History - part 1 - fawn brodie review
		Nibley also neglects to point out that Joseph Smith himself admitted in the church's "Elder's Journal" (later added to the official "History of the Church") that he was a money-digger who only got $14 a month for it.
		Nibley's parallels are based on cultures and time periods far removed from each other--yet he doesn't want "View of the Hebrews" to be looked at even though it was produced by the same culture and just prior to the Book of Mormon.
		Nibley had a valid point with the word "Nauvoo", but in any case, it is no secret that Joseph Smith studied Hebrew.

	Hugh Nibley
		Starting with a foreword written by Zina Nibley Peterson (the author's wife and Nibley's daughter) and finishing with appendixes that include some of the best of Nibley's personal correspondence, the biography reveals aspects of the tapestry of the life of one who has truly consecrated his life to the service of the Lord.
		Hugh Nibley is generally touted as one of Mormonism's greatest minds and perhaps its most prolific scholarly apologist.
		Among the many vignettes of Nibley family life she relates is the one where she remembers--in high school—calling herself a "daughter of a false god," in reference to her father's fawning groupies.

	Hugh Nibley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nibley is notable both for vigorously defending The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and for frankly discussing what he saw as the shortcomings of the LDS people and culture.
		Nibley served as a missionary for the LDS Church in Germany and served as a master sergeant working in military intelligence for the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army during World War II.
		Nibley was strongly opposed to the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War during an era "when it was very unpopular in LDS culture to do so." [4] Nibley was also bothered by what he saw as the unthinking, sometimes almost dogmatic application of some portions of BYU's honor code.

	Critique of Nibley use of Lachish Letters
		Nibley says it is through Jeremiah’s mention of the Rekhabites and that "his [Jeremiah’s] assistants … both headed such communities of refugees." The Rekhabites are not mentioned in the Lachish Letters, and there is no certain reference to Jeremiah himself.
		Nibley’s connection of the Elisha story of 2 Kings 6:17 with Book of Mormon 3:29 and 7:10 is invalid, because in neither one of the latter is there any reference to the opening of the eyes.
		Nibley 109; the strange marks used in the article have to be referring to the he.

	Meridian Magazine :: People : How Hugh Nibley Blessed the Church
		Hugh Nibley' s death leaves a gap in the Church that it would take two dozen people to fill, if it can ever be filled at all.
		But to Hugh Nibley’s family and friends, his passing is personal and his loss will be keenly felt. Though his last months were spent in physical frailty, his presence has been so powerful throughout his life that his absence will be noticed again and again.
		But the scholars who follow in Nibley’s footsteps have faith in the scriptures -- but they are perfectly skeptical of their own interpretations of it. When the scriptures and the real-world evidence seem contradictory, those who see through Nibley’s eyes reexamine the common interpretation of the scientific evidence and of the scripture.

	Hugh Nibley: A Consecrated Life
		Nibley's astonishingly wide ranging erudition, brilliant prose, fascinating insights, and blew me away, and I have continued to read and draw on his work and example for 30 years.
		Considering the hoopla over the recent publication of Martha Nibley Beck's expose, Leaving the Saints, Zina's chapter here offers a fascinatingly different portrait of Hugh Nibley as a father, from one was only 18 months younger than Martha, who slept in the bottom bunk under where Martha slept until she was a teenager.
		Hugh's wife, Phyllis, also comes across as a fully rounded personality, with her own interests and distinctive strong character compared to the reduction to beehive hairdo, and sock-puppet witness that appears in Leaving the Saints.

	[No title]
		In this role Nibley comes very near to playing the classic folklore “trickster,” and his bold actions in cutting to the quick of popularly held customs and beliefs are thrilling to watch, even though few would have the boldness to emulate them.
		Nibley tends to be forgetful of such everyday concerns as whether his lawn is mowed or where his car is parked.
		In the process of telling these Hugh Nibley stories again and again, as members of the BYU community pass them along to others, the narrators transform the stories, probably unconsciously, into truthful and accurate indicators of their own values, attitudes and needs.

		Despite public acclaim, Dr. Nibley was also an "extraordinarily humble" man, Elder Oaks said, a sentiment echoed by son Alex Nibley, who spoke of his father's "wrinkled hat and baggy pants" as akin to "a monk's cassock," designed to help to keep vanity at bay.
		Such was an outward sign that his father didn't feel pride, "but he knew the danger" inherent in the public acclaim that flowed from his command of ancient languages and the scholarship he brought to a deep exploration of LDS doctrine.
