Alma 30-63: A Brief Theological Introduction

"Now is the time and the day of your salvation...."

Alma the Younger is forever changed by an overwhelming personal experience with God's mercy, a mercy capable of overpowering justice and giving Alma the means to exercise faith unto repentance. Driven by his new desire to share the joy that God's mercy brings, Alma confronts the apostate Korihor, preaches a sermon on faith to the Zoramite outcasts, and encourages and consoles his sons. His ministry cannot be understood apart from the miraculous transformation initiated and powered by God's mercy.

In this brief introduction to the second half of the book of Alma, philosopher Mark Wrathall painstakingly works out the logic of Alma's understanding of faith, justice, mercy, and the final judgment and restoration of all things, encouraging listeners to receive salvation today.

The Book of Alma A New

Having both read and listened to the book, I feel reintroduced to the Book of Alma and it's teachings. The author brings additional light to portions of the book of Alam that are not skipped over but simplified to the point that we miss their true teachings.
