The Prophet Joseph Smith called the Book of Mormon the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion. Because its ancient authors intended it to be read by future generations, it is scripture that is more relevant today than when it was written. For Latter-day Saints, it is also the most significant book we can know. Now, to aid in our understanding of this important work, scholars Ed J. Pinegar and Richard J. Allen have created Commentaries and Insights on the Book of Mormona volume that not only illuminates doctrinal truths and contextual meanings of the Book of Mormon, but also shows the application of these profound scriptures in our daily lives. Commentaries and Insights on the Book of Mormon includes:
Inspiring commentary and in-depth insights on key scriptural passages Excellent supplemental study material for Gospel Doctrine lessons Biographical portraits of significant people in the Book of Mormon Illustrative passages that highlight important scriptural concepts Archaeological, historical, and cultural evidences of the Book of Mormon Insightful applications for our own lives and times
With its convenient arrangement of information, easy-to-understand writing style, and wealth of usable information, Commentaries and Insights on the Book of Mormon is an invaluable resource for personal study, family instruction, speaking assignments, lesson preparation, missionary work, and more. The first in a new series of commentaries on LDS standard works, and an ideal companion to the authors previous works, this useful volume will make a positive change in how you study, understand, and apply the timeless teachings of the Book of Mormon.
I used this tool as I read and marked a Book of Mormon for my daughter. I gave it to her for her birthday. I felt that the greatest gift I could give to a very busy Mom is time. As I read this Book of Mormon, I highlighted what Ed Pinegar and Richard Allen highlighted. Then I made abbreviated notes in the margin for Jess. Now as she reads this Book of Mormon, she will be able to have a much deeper study guide right there with her. I have never gotten so much from my reading as I did this time.
