Welcome to episode six of the podcast! The title is catchy but don't worry, I'm not attacking The Book of Mormon here. This week I look at why The Book of Mormon is sometimes wordy or inefficient in its writing style. I talk about some reasons why this could be and how The Book of Mormon still stands pure and true as an authentic witness of Jesus Christ and His restored church.

This week we talk about Christ in ancient scripture. Christ is testified of all over the place in the Old Testament, sometimes through symbols and other times explicitly. The Book of Mormon explicitly testifies of Christ and is a pure and deliberate witness of His divine role as Savior and Redeemer of mankind.

Welcome to the Work and Wonder Podcast. Today we examine faith, hope, and charity in depth. We address three  questions throughout the episode:   Does hope turn into faith or does faith turn into hope?  Why does Moroni 7:45 sound like 1 Corinthians 13?  Can you have Charity if your faith and hope fail?  Here are the articles/resources referenced: https://www.blueletterbible.org https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/video/special-witnesses-of-christ?lang=eng https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/answers/Book_of_Mormon/Plagiarism_accusations/King_James_Bible#Question:_Does_the_Book_of_Mormon_plagiarize_the_King_James_Bible.3F
