“The Book of Mormon for the Least of These” looks in new ways for a morality that hasn’t been previously emphasized in readings of the Book of Mormon. Margaret Olsen Hemming and Fatimah Saleh have asked hard questions while having compassion and admiration for the complex writers at the center of its action. Volume 1 explored Nephi, a survivor of harrowing migration and familial violence. Volume 2 mourned alongside Alma, father and son, seeking to spread faith and righteousness in a brutally unequal and divided society. In Volume 3, they teach us to bring the same compassion to lonely souls like Mormon, Ether and Moroni, standing on the edge of the utter failure of their civilizations, trees felled by fatal flaws near their roots. For us, this includes a lack of faith, but also a lack of imagination about how our faith invites those from the margins: particularly immigrants and refugees, minority groups, and people living in poverty. This book looks at hope in adversity, connection across divisions, assisting us to look anew at this scripture’s message for us today.
