MIPodcast #98-Briefly First Nephi, with Joseph M. Spencer

“I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents...”
So begins the first book in the Book of Mormon. First Nephi. And this is the first episode in a special series of interviews with authors of the Maxwell Institute’s forthcoming “Brief Theological Introductions to the Book of Mormon. Twelve different authors tackle twelve different parts of the book, and Joseph M. Spencer of Brigham Young University was given the task of approaching First Nephi.
JOSEPH M. SPENCER is an assistant professor in the department of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University and editor of the Journal of Book of Mormon Studies. He’s written a number of books on the Book of Mormon such as "An Other Testament: On Typology," "For Zion: A Mormon Theology of Hope," and his latest book, "First Nephi: A Brief Theological Introduction."

Not liking the quarantine but it did lead me to these awesome podcasts...they have helped me study more in depth and talk to others about what I've heard...this is my Second time around listening to each podcast and as soon as I can get back to work I'm hoping to pick up the books. These are very motivational and inspirational.

These discussions are so fantastic! I stumbled onto the discussion on Mosiah which got me interested in the discussion on the itty bitty books and loved that too. I figured I should just start from the beginning and am so grateful. I can’t wait to get my hands on the books so I can study them more in depth. Thank you!
