MIPodcast #99—Briefly Second Nephi, with Terryl Givens

This episode continues our special series of episodes on the Maxwell Institute's Brief Theological Introductions to the Book of Mormon. Terryl Givens is author of the volume on what many readers consider to be the most challenging part of the scripture—Second Nephi. The authors of our Brief Theological Introductions are "seeking Christ in scripture by combining intellectual rigor and the disciple’s yearning for holiness."

TERRYL GIVENS is a Neal A. Maxwell Senior Research Fellow. He formerly held the Jabez A. Bostwick Chair of English and was Professor of Literature and Religion at the University of Richmond. He is the author of many books about Latter-day Saint history and culture, including "Wrestling the Angel: The Foundations of Mormon Thought," "Feeding the Flock: The Foundations of Mormon Practice," and "By the Hand of Mormon: The American Scripture That Launched a New World Religion," each with Oxford University Press. He is also co-author, with Fiona Givens, of "The God Who Weeps," "The Crucible of Doubt," and "The Christ Who Heals."
