No changes were made to the original Nibley four volumes. Readers of the Book of Mormon will benefit from Hugh Nibley’s extensive historical and linguistic background from a lifetime of study of ancient documents.

These references will be helpful to students and teachers of the Book of Mormon. The numbers at the beginning of each paragraph refer to the page number of the First Edition of the four volumes, and will alert the reader to where omissions may be found in the original four volumes.

Love Nibley’s Keen insights and historical and linguistic prowess.

I chose this rating because Hugh Nibley’s commentaries touch both mind and spirit. The Book of Mormon comes alive with his understanding, wit and testimony.

I like to search the web any time Brother Nibley brings up an ancient event or an expert in ancient studies, I am amazed at the accuarcy of his statements. I also like how he identifies large themes in the text and helps the students see how the themes apply to them personally.
The transcripts of his classes are entertaining, informative, and inspiring.
