Scripture Conversations

The Book of Ether is the story of the rise and fall of a nation, inserted by Moroni. But there is more going on here. Jaredites are gentiles, or non-Israelites. The Book of Ether seems also to be a reflection on gentiles in the promised land, an audience the Book of Mormon speaks to. What do we learn from the powerful and tragic history of the Jaredites? What lessons does Moroni emphasize? In this episode, BYU professors Jared Ludlow, David Calabro, Josh Matson, and Joseph Spencer explore these chapters in an inspiring scripture conversation.
