The Book of Mormon: The War Chapters in Alma 44-63

The last quarter of the Book of Alma focuses on a series of conflicts between Nephites and Lamanites. Amalickiah and Ammaron, with other dissenters, act as the catalysts of a long battle. Captain Moroni, Helaman, the stripling warriors, and others respond to help the Nephites survive and restore peace. Why are these battles in the Book of Mormon? How do they fit into the larger context of the Book of Alma, and what do we learn from them? In this episode, BYU professors Joseph Spencer, Ross Baron, Joshua Matson, and Robbie Taggart explore these questions in an inspiring scripture conversation.
