The Book of Mormon has become a fraught topic for many
Latter-day Saints who are in the midst of a faith shift. Those who
are no longer certain what to think about this foundational
scripture will often not feel comfortable studying it. And this is
especially a problem this year, as the Book of Mormon is the Sunday
School text for 2024.
In this brief episode, LDF host Dan Wotherspoon,
offers some of his perspectives that acknowledge all of the text's
(and its origin story's) problems yet ultimately suggests some of
the ways he feels it is still worthy of more study, more
questioning, more wrestling. He suggests that if we are to "kill
Nephi," we should really know what we are doing--as completely
dismissing the Book of Mormon is a very serious matter.
