Join us as we study how Alma continues to teach his son Corianton. We consider how he begins to address Corianton's concerns and questions and we reflect on Alma's approach to explaining what he has learnt.
D Ogden Kelly and Andrew C Skinner: “Alma was a model of a perceptive father who is trying to counsel with and bless his son, and, through the inspiration available to all parents, he began to zero in on Corianton’s real issue—a profound doctrinal question. Why was Corianton ‘worried concerning the resurrection of the dead’? Because if a person claimed that there is no life after this one and no resurrection to live forever, that reasoning could be used to further justify sinning: Live it up here in mortality; go after whatever your body wants here in this life because there’s nothing afterwards. It was important for Alma to resolve his son’s doubt”
