How Are Samuel the Lamanite and the Biblical Prophet Samuel Similar? #576
01/09/2020 Duration: 09minSamuel the Lamanite shares striking similarities to his namesake, Samuel of the Old Testament. Both Samuel the Lamanite and the biblical Samuel had similar prophetic calls, foretold a coming Messiah, wielded God’s sword of justice, and subverted societal expectations. These similarities highlight how Samuel the Lamanite and Samuel the Israelite both fulfilled archetypal traits of true biblical prophets, despite their unassuming backgrounds. The Nephites would not have expected a prophet to come from among the Lamnites, but the Lord clearly qualifies whom He calls. Read at bit.ly/knowhy576

Why Did Pahoran, Paanchi, and Pacumeni have Such Similar Sounding Names? #574
18/08/2020 Duration: 05minThese names and the narrative in Helaman 1 are arguably more true to life and consistent with the ancient Egyptian origins of the Book of Mormon than any fiction writer in 1829 could have hoped. bit.ly/knowhy574

Why Did Alma Draw on the Teachings of Abinadi? #571
28/07/2020 Duration: 05minAstute readers of the Book of Mormon may have noticed that “Alma [the Younger] shows an affinity for the words of Abinadi.” Nowhere is this affinity more evident than in his counsel to his son Corianton, where research by John L. Hilton III indicates that Alma made at least thirteen allusions or direct quotations to Abinadi’s teachings (see table and appendix). Read more at bit.ly/knowhy571

Why Did Alma See God Surrounded by Angels? #570
20/07/2020 Duration: 06minAlma 36 is a powerful story of repentance and redemption, but why did Alma tell it to Helaman instead of Corianton, his son in most need of repentance? Scholars have found that Alma is also relating a prophetic call narrative, which conforms to the expectations of ancient Israel and pre-Columbian America. Thus, Alma related his own prophetic commission to his eldest son and successor as he simultaneously commissioned Helaman to his own prophetic call. Read at bit.ly/knowhy570

Why Did Alma Talk about Planting a Seed in the Heart? #569
14/07/2020 Duration: 06minThis week for Come, Follow Me we read about Faith. Alma’s metaphor would have naturally resonated with peasant farmers of a predominately agricultural society, much like the Savior’s Parable of the Sower was relatable to his audience of laborers and agriculturalists in Palestine. Yet the imagery reviewed here suggests that there were additional factors that made this metaphor meaningful within the possible cultural backdrop of Book of Mormon peoples. Read at bit.ly/knowhy569

Why Does the Book of Mormon Use So Many Different Terms for “Law”? #568
07/07/2020 Duration: 08minThroughout the Book of Mormon a set of synonymous (or near-synonymous) legal terms is often used to emphasize the righteousness or obedience of a group or an individual. Latter-day Saint legal scholar John W. Welch has explained that this seemingly redundant repetition is what’s called a “pleonastic list,” and is similar to the list of near-synonymous legal terms found in the Hebrew Bible.

Why did the Ammonites Covenant Not to Take Up Arms? #567
30/06/2020 Duration: 06minAfter the Anti-Nephi-Lehies were converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ, the buried their weapons of war and covenanted to never shed blood again. Shortly thereafter, they are attacked by their unconverted brethren, and allow themselves to be slain rather than fight back. Because of this moving and courageous act, some have called the Anti-Nephi-Lehies "pacifists," but various details in their story illustrate that this is not entirely accurate. Rather than a principled renunciation of war, it seems the Anti-Nephi-Lehies were renouncing their past participation in a truly murderous and blood-thirsty culture. Nonetheless, the people of Ammon remain an enduring example of the power of the gospel to bring peace and overcome violence. Read at bit.ly/knowhy567

Why Did Alma Respond in the Way He Did to the “Order of Nehor” in Ammonihah? #566
16/06/2020 Duration: 07minThe people of Ammonihah were of the order of Nehor, so it can be useful to consider Alma's teachings to them, especially in Alma 12-13, as a response to the five main teachings of Nehor summarized in Alma 1:3-4. In this light, it becomes clear why Alma focused on the plan of redemption and the true order of the priesthood. Read at bit.ly/knowhy566
