Synopsis

Nephi's adoration of the words of Isaiah has puzzled many readers of the Book of Mormon. What does Nephi's reading and repurposing of the biblical prophet suggest about the nature of prophecy and scripture study? Six scholars of the Mormon Theology Seminar address these and other questions in this book. By shedding new light on this particular scriptural text, these essays provide exemplary models for improved scripture study.
