In this podcast we discuss some of the overarching messages of 1 Nephi 1-7. How is 1 Nephi 1 like an overview of the whole Book of Mormon? What invitation does God make to you in 1 Nephi 1? How does our response to trial influence our happiness, those around us, and the trajectory of our family? What evidence exists in the text of 1 Nephi 1-7 that this is a historical document? For the show notes on the reforms of the Deuteronomists, see: www.ldsscriptureteachings.org/2018/08/09/how-did-josiah-change-the-religion-of-the-jewish-nation/ Another great article written by Neal Rappleye that explains the social context of 1 Nephi and the religious reforms of Lehi's day can be found here: bit.ly/2rUWpey I mention the Jewish Study Bible in this podcast.
