Come, Follow Me — Study and Teaching Helps: Lesson 4, January 20-26: 1 Nephi 11-15

Audio Roundtable: Come, Follow Me Book of Mormon Lesson 4 “Armed with Righteousness and with the Power of God” : 1 Nephi 11-15

The Interpreter Radio Roundtable for Come, Follow Me Book of Mormon Lesson 4, “Armed with Righteousness and with the Power of God,” on 1 Nephi 11-15 involved only one participant, but a really good one — Martin Tanner. This discussion was extracted from the 29 December 2019 broadcast of Interpreter Radio. The complete 29 December 2019 show may be heard at https://interpreterfoundation.org/interpreter-radio-show-december-29-2019/.

Teachings and Testimony of the First Vision: An Amalgamation of Joseph Smith’s First Vision, followed by
A Doctrinal Summary of the First Vision from the Teachings of Apostles and Prophets: Part of a Series Compiled by Dennis B. Horne

Note: this narration is only of the prayer and vision, not other closely related matters. It contains descriptive material (not word-for-word) from the four main accounts originating with Joseph Smith. I put it together to show how they collectively enlarge our understanding by adding depth, breadth, and detail. One quickly understands why this vision is considered as foundational to the restoration of the gospel and the eventual establishment of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
