"The Bible presented Hugh Nibley with a very ancient, very big picture," Madsen said. "It traced the life of a family, who came to be called collectively, the children of Israel. He saw a pattern here."
She said the patterns of Israel rejecting God and subsequently coming back to him raised some questions in Nibley's mind about God's willingness to forgive his children time and again.

Madsen said Nibley always tried to look at the cosmic landscape, or the "puzzle with thousands of pieces," in his scholarship, and yet was fascinated with the most minute details. In all of his scholarship, he looked for patterns.

As is undoubtably true for many who would view this video, Hugh Nibley provided my first exposure to rigorous apologetics. I will be grateful to him for giving me a glimpse of those things he saw because of his tremendous intellect and gifted insights. I rarely understood everything he was saying and often got lost in the meanderings, but I loved the journey. I miss him greatly and wish him God speed in his new adventures on the other side of the veil.
