In this podcast we discuss some of the overarching messages of 1 Nephi 1-7. How is 1 Nephi 1 like an overview of the whole Book of Mormon? What invitation does God make to you in 1 Nephi 1? How does our response to trial influence our happiness, those around us, and the trajectory of our family? What evidence exists in the text of 1 Nephi 1-7 that this is a historical document?

For the show notes on the reforms of the Deuteronomists, go here. Another great article written by Neal Rappleye that explains the social context of 1 Nephi and the religious reforms of Lehi’s day can be found here. I mention The Jewish Study Bible in this podcast. I can no longer find the PDF of this available online, however, you can purchase it here.
