Studies in Scripture, Vol. 7: 1 Nephi to Alma 29

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 is another volume in the series intended to enhance and supplement the personal study of the truths found in the standard works. This volume focuses on the first half of the Book of Mormon. Covering topics such as: Nephi and the destiny of Israel, redemption through the Holy Messiah, being nourished by the word Of God, the coming forth of the Book of Mormon and many more. With contributors including: Joseph F. McConkie , Catherine Thomas, Robert Millet and other leading LDS scholars this is a classic addition to any LDS library.
