“A Nourishing and Accessible Read”

Hot off the virtual press from the Interpreter Foundation and published in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship:

“A Nourishing and Accessible Read”

It is a very concise review, by Morgan Deane, of Michaela Stephens, To Defend Them By Stratagem: Fortify Yourself with Book of Mormon War Tactics (Gilbert, AZ: Lion’s Whelp Publications, 2018). 246 pp. $12.99 (paperback).

Abstract: Sometimes it is easy to overlook, disregard, or discount the “war chapters” in the Book of Mormon. Michaela Stephens’ new book about these chapters deserves wider attention, as it is an excellent study resource that provides valuable devotional and academic insights while remaining accessible to lay readers.

This brief little item represents the 362nd week in a row (out of its 363.5 weeks of existence) that the Interpreter Foundation has published at least one piece.

Or, alternatively, if you would prefer to listen only to the roundtable for Come, Follow Me New Testament Lesson 27, “What Wilt Thou Have Me to Do?,” which covers Acts 6-9, it has been extracted for your convenience from the 23 June 2019 broadcast of the Interpreter Radio Show.
