Charting the Book of Mormon: Visual AIDS for Personal Study And Teaching

by John W. Welch

This book is a collection of more than 175 visual aids that promote deeper understanding and appreciation of the Book of Mormon. Designed for multiple use as study guides, handouts, and masters for creating projectable images, the charts convey a wealth of information that will enrich personal study and teaching.

Arranged in 15 sections, these charts consist of tables, diagrams, chronologies, flowcharts, bar graphs, pie charts, maps, and other effective schematics that represent Book of Mormon data in new and thought-provoking ways. General topics range from the history, doctrine, structure, and chronology of the Book of Mormon to its literary, cultural, and geographical features. Many charts highlight evidences for the authenticity of the record. Each chart is explained in a manner that will facilitate personal study and guide a teacher in what might be said when displaying the chart for group instruction or discussion.

Reviews

[Josiah Hatch · Rating 4 out of 5]

Abinadi was likely executed right after Passover.

Messiah as a name for Jesus is rarely used after Nephi’s family’s writings.

Nephite and Lamanites migrations match up with those of Mayan and contemporary civilizations.

All Old Testament references.

Each chiasmus analyzed.

These are just a few of the interesting findings found in this study book. The book needs a second edition to include recent Book of Mormon studies especially on the topics Game Theory and societal equity.
