An Approach to the Book of Abraham<\/em>, volume 18 in the\u00a0Collected Works of Hugh Nibley<\/em>, includes Nibley\u2019s early work on the Book of Abraham and the Joseph Smith Papyri. The volume contains diverse essays, including his three-year series of lengthy articles from the\u00a0Improvement Era<\/em>, \u201cA New Look at the Pearl of Great Price.\u201d Produced at a breathtaking pace and originally published in a wide variety of places, Nibley\u2019s work still remains basic reading for anyone interested in the Book of Abraham.<\/p>\n

They\u00a0would\u00a0<\/em>not, we\u00a0could<\/em>\u00a0not make of the Book of Abraham an object of serious study. The time has come to change all that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
