Margaret Hemming Olsen and Fatimah Salleh have asked some of the most difficult questions of the volume. That the Book of Mormon continues to give remarkable answers, even if not always comfortable ones, is a testament to the undying inspiration that has animated it since its coming forth. That these two scholars have had enough confidence in the Book of Mormon to raise such questions will make The Book of Mormon for the Least of These an important work for a long time.-Joseph Spencer, author of 1st Nephi: A Brief Theological Introduction and The Anatomy of Book of Mormon Theology, Volumes One & TwoWith this third volume of The Book of Mormon for the Least of These, Dr. Fatimah Salleh and Margaret Olsen Hemming complete their awe-inspiring project of analyzing the Book of Mormon in its entirety using a social justice framework. Through unflinching readings of the books depictions of racial violence, national failure, and traumatic loss, they show how it truly is "a text for our time." Readers of this volume will not find easy answers, but they will find a Book of Mormon that asks hard questions about what is required of those who wish to build a just world. This is a beautiful work of original exegesis, one to which I will return again and again.-Elizabeth Fenton, co-editor of Americanist Approaches to The Book of MormonPeople have long wondered how our Black Americans could have survived their experiences while maintaining their faith. This is how they did it. This book works to embed faith in Jesus Christ and the scriptural Word into peoples very beings. Although the title references those who have been forgotten or overlooked, The Book of Mormon for the Least of These is for everyone, regardless of social status or understanding of scripture. It is an aid in helping us to fulfill Jesus charge to "be one," that as we gather to hear and understand one another by viewing through different lenses we are indeed gathering unto The Christ collectively.-Alice Faulkner Burch, Editor of My Lord, He Calls Me: Stories of Faith by Black American Latter-Day Saints Details ISBN 1948218992 ISBN-13 9781948218993 Title The Book of Mormon for the Least of These, Volume 3 Author Margaret Olsen Hemming, Fatimah Salleh Format Paperback Year 2023 Pages 254 Publisher By Common Consent Press GE_Item_ID:157398794; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
