[Christian Larsen · Rating 1 out of 5]

This set is page after page of the same-old stuff. The authors offer nothing new to the study of the Book of Mormon. The most valuable aspect of this set are the occasional authoritative quotes the authors use from modern prophets and apostles, but if this is what you want, you would be better off with K Douglas Bassett's "Doctrinal Insights to the Book of Mormon" (3 vols) which are strictly quotes by apostles and prophets regarding each verse or chapter of the Book of Mormon. If you really want to learn something, the best commentary available on the Book of Mormon is Brant Gardner's "Second Witness" series (6 vols). It will be decades before anyone is able to surpass Gardner in scope or quality.

I enjoyed reading the Book of Mormon with some commentary. It's great to delve deeper into the doctrine.

Great verse-by-verse commentary. A good study enrichment for someone who has read the Book of Mormon quite a few times.

I remember Robert Millet tell his "Doctrines of Religion" class at BYU, don't take my word as Gospel truth. Reading someone else's pompous interpretation of the scriptures is like drinking downstream from a full-bladdered cow.
