Hugh Nibley died today at 95. I never read much of his works, but he was a great defender of the faith his entire life.

The truth about Hugh Nibley myths
PROVO - Imagine, if you will, that Hugh Nibley is stuck like Bill Murray in the movie "Groundhog Day" - except instead of repeating the same day over and over, the magic of folklore is creating multiple stories of how Nibley found love and marriage at BYU. William A. Wilson, emeritus professor of English at BYU, spoke about Nibley and folklore on Thursday, March 4, at BYU as part of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute's weekly lecture series celebrating the 100th anniversary of Nibley's birth. Ref. Source 1
