Samuel the Lamanite: That Ye Might Believe by Charles Swift
Samuel the Lamanite: That Ye Might Believe by Charles Swift
Details
The image of an outcast Lamanite prophet preaching repentance from the wall of an enemy city while stones and arrows whiz past him is stirring and unique in scripture. Other one-of-a-kind elements abound in Helaman 13-16, inviting close study of a singular prophet.
The savior himself endorsed this mysterious figure when he had the scriptural record amended to attest the fulfillment of Samuel's resurrection prophecy. Though rejected as an outsider and false prophet, Samuel was every whit the Lord's insider prophet, for he alone was entrusted to announce the signs and wonders that would attend the Savior's birth as well as the precise timing of his New World appearance following terrifying cataclysms.
Clearly this is a prophet worth knowing!
In this third volume from BYU's Book of Mormon Academy, specialists in ancient scripture probe the content and context of the Samuel account. Their insights and connections not only affirm its ancient character but add rich and relevant dimensions to it.
