Narrado por: Margaret Olsen

This social justice commentary of the Book of Mormon empowers listeners to understand the text as a book that speaks to issues of racism, sexism, immigration, refugees, and socioeconomic inequality.

The Book of Mormon For the Least of These offers an unflinching examination of some of the difficult and troubling sections of the Book of Mormon, while also advocating for a compassionate understanding of holy text. As a verse-by-verse close study, this book examines new layers of interpretation and meaning, giving even those deeply familiar with scripture innovative tools for engaging powerfully with the Book of Mormon.

Poor recording

Interesting ideas but the recording is very bad and needs to be redone. Stopped short because of recording.

Too much background noise

I was excited to find this workbook on audio since I have trouble reading. I like the explanations of scriptures, but I heard dogs barking and sone banging in the background, which distracted me.

Beautiful insights

This book contains beautiful insights that can be applied to all ancient scripture and modern religion.

Vital volume on the Book of Mormon. Every member should read this.

Some technical issues with the recording notwithstanding, this is a vital volume on the Book of Mormon. So many verses are in the church culture settled science, but this book asks the key question over and over: “What if X means Y instead of Z? Does it HAVE to mean Z?” There’s so much heart and spirit here. This is exactly what those seeking to truly gather Zion need to hear. Please listen to this book! *bang!* *bang!* *bang!*

Needs edited! But amazing content.

Note to the authors- please re-release a better edited recording! Some of the stop/starts and obvious mic tests when the reading starts up again are distracting. But the content is 100% amazing. I’m glad I also bought the hard copy because sadly the recording has been a little difficult due to the technical issues. It’s bizarre really. But I highly recommend this book!

Terrible recording quality

I’m liking the content but there are so many recording mishaps that it’s hard to follow. One chapter in particular keeps getting interrupted every other minute it seems by an abrupt pause, a loud tapping sound and then starting a phrase over. It seems the loud tapping was to signal the beginning of a recording but they didn’t edit them out? Not sure what happened but it’s very distracting. I’m disappointed I didn’t get a physical copy of the book instead because I do enjoy the offered perspectives and questions.

Terrible Production Values

You may or may not like this book, but the actual recording was terrible. Passages repeat, there is a thumping sound every so often that indicates a passage is going to be replayed, and you can hear a lot of extraneous noise in the background. I thought Audible.com was supposed to sell quality products. This may or may not have been a good book, but I gave up because of the terrible recording. I want my credit back.
