Studies in Scripture

The volumes in the Studies in Scripture series contain collections of essays written to give greater insight into history and doctrine of the standard works of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Recognizing that there is no substitute for sincere and serious study of the scriptures themselves, the authors have worked to point Latter-days Saints toward the wealth of wisdom and inspired direction to be discovered in the Lord’s word. These detailed discussions by deeply committed and believing LDS scholars have become a classic addition to many libraries. The new paperback editions make them easier to use and more accessible to everyone!

This volume of Studies in Scripture covers the last half of the Book of Mormon. It emphasizes the teaching of the Book of Mormon and the sermons contained in the book help clarify the narrative and emphasize the lessons that are taught through historical events and bear witness to Christ. This volume includes chapter's on- the infinite atonement, God's way or man's, the downfall of the Nephite nation, the course of peace and apostasy and many more. A great addition to any LDS library.
