Commentary on the Book of Mormon, Vol. 2: The Words of Mormon and the Book of Mosiah

by George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjödahl

Every student of the Book of Mormon is sure to treasure the provocative and inspiring historical, biographical, philological, and archaeological research of Elder Reynolds and Elder Sjodahl, two eminently articulate and informed Church scholars and writers.

In their commentary, they give glimpses and insight into a wonderful world. The world of Lehi and his travels to the Land of Promise. And the world of his descendants, the Nephites and Lamanites in ancient America.

From many sources, the authors assembled facts and background for their Commentary that will engage the interest of both beginning student and veteran scholar. So persuasively and enthusiastically have they prepared their research so that every reader will see the myriad pearls of great price in the Book of Mormon anew.

Reviews

[Anita · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found this book to be helpful for the most part. I could have one without reading the last few chapters that had to do with the environment of the Book of Mormon. I chose this book to help with preperation for my Come Follow me youth Sunday school class. I filed it under the prompt read a book with an ugly cover for 2024 booklist queen reading challenge.

I didn't find the commentary to be that great. It was more like a retelling of what you just read.
