In this brief theological introduction, Daniel Becerra enlists 3 and 4 Nephi as aids in the disciple's pursuit of Christ and Christlikeness. What do these books reveal about divine nature, human nature, and the means of bridging the gap between the two?

Alma is an idolatrous man until an angel's rebuke leads to repentance and two decades of righteous service in realms both political and religious. In this brief theological introduction to the first 29 chapters of the "Book of Alma", literary scholar Kylie Nielson Turley considers how Alma's profound transformation from anti-Christ to high priest of the church of God can deepen our understanding of Christ s mercy.

From the moment Sariah and Lehi’s family arrived in the promised land, their prophets warned that the people would face destruction if they failed to trust in Christ.

Crying out from the depths of his heart, the prophet reflects on what went wrong and how it might have been avoided. Through it all, hope in Christ abides.

Alma the Younger is forever changed by an overwhelming personal experience with God's mercy, a mercy capable of overpowering justice and giving Alma the means to exercise faith unto repentance.

His ministry cannot be understood apart from the miraculous transformation initiated and powered by God's mercy.
