Description
Boyd Jay Petersen; Zina Nibley Petersen (Foreword), Draper, Utah: Greg Kofford Books, 2002, 8.5×10″ hardbound, 446 pages
As one of the LDS Church’s most widely recognized scholars, Hugh Nibley (27 Mar 1910-25 Feb 2005) is both an icon and an enigma. Through complete access to Nibley’s correspondence, journals, notes, and papers, Petersen has painted a portrait that reveals the man behind the legend. Starting with a foreword written by Zina Nibley Petersen (the author’s wife and Nibley’s daughter) and finishing with appendices 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 himself to the service of the Lord during his 94 year long life.
