Abinadi "He Came Among Them in Disguise"

by Shon D. Hopkin

Under the guidance of some of the best thinkers on the Book of Mormon, the Abinadi narrative springs to life as each chapter approaches Abinadi's story and words from a different perspective. Whether viewed through a sociopolitical, literary, theological, philosophical, or historical lens, new insights and a new appreciation for the richness of Abinadi's discourse will help readers reignite their passion for the beauty and depth of the Book of Mormon. This volume is written for an informed, Latter-day Saint audience and seeks to fill a gap in high-quality research and writing on the Book of Mormon. It is produced by members of Brigham Young University's Book of Mormon Academy, a group of scholars dedicated to research on the Book of Mormon. Each of the members brings a different area of expertise to bear on the Abinadi narrative. As that narrative is viewed from a variety of angles, its richness, beauty, and profound meaning come more clearly into focus.

The book was interesting. Each chapter looks at a different aspect of Abinadi’s interactions with King Noah and his priests. There are been a lot of thought put into each chapter. There were a few chapters that were over my head. The few I enjoyed, were very interesting.

I loved some of the chapters in the book and they were very meaningful to me. Other chapters were so tedious that I ended up not reading them.
