President Ezra Taft Benson (1899–1994) observed that the Book of Helaman “reveals many parallels to our own day as we anticipate the Savior’s second coming” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1987, 3). The book details the Nephites vacillating between righteousness and wickedness, their wars, and secret combinations by the Gadianton Robbers. It also contains the preaching and prophecies of Helaman, Nephi, and Samuel the Lamanite. What are we to learn from this potent book? What are its themes, structure, and messages? In this episode, BYU professors Jan Martin, Joseph Spencer, Ross Baron, and Dan Belnap explore this book and these questions in an inspiring scripture conversation.
