BOM 2 Nephi 29

Today’s relatively short reading, 2 Nephi 29, is noteworthy for at least two things:

1)

It’s a very clear statement of the characteristically Mormon idea that revelation isn’t restricted to the Bible, and that more scripture, beyond the Bible and from beyond even the traditional lands of the Bible, will be forthcoming.

2)

The Book of Mormon contains perhaps the only explicit condemnations of anti-Semitism in any religious tradition’s canonical scripture.  (Certainly I can think of no other.)  And this chapter represents the fundamental Book of Mormon text on the topic.
