Teachings of the Book of Mormon, Part Three

by Hugh Nibley

Hugh Nibley is one of the best known and most highly revered of Latter-day Saint scholars. For over forty years this near-legendary teacher has enthralled readers and listeners with his encyclopedic knowledge, his wit, and his untiring research in defense of Latter-day Saint beliefs. Now you can study the transcripts of Dr. Nibley's Honors Book of Mormon classes that he taught at BYU during 1988-90.
Semester three contains twenty-nine lectures focusing on alma 45 through III Nephi 20. It is vintage Nibley, with his insights, humor, and passionate convictions, discussing a book that he loves and knows so well.

About the author

Hugh Winder Nibley was one of Mormonism's most celebrated scholars. Nibley is notable for his extensive research and publication on ancient languages and culture, his vigorous defense of doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and for frankly discussing what he saw as the shortcomings of the LDS people and culture.

A prolific author and professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University, he was fluent in over ten languages, including Classical Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Egyptian, Coptic, Arabic, German, French, English, and Spanish languages. He also studied Dutch and Russian during World War II.

In addition to his efforts as a scholar, Nibley was well known for writings and lectures on LDS scripture and doctrinal topics, many of which were published in LDS Church magazines. His book “An Approach to the Book of Mormon” was used as a lesson manual for the LDS Church in 1957.

Exceptional

Nibley provides insight and historical information not found in many discussions of the Book of Mormon. I highly recommend it.
