Introduction

Part 1 (of 4) exploring Zenos's Allegory of the Olive Tree found in Jacob 5. Part 1 includes background information (Why did Jacob include this allegory? Who was Zenos and what was his main message?) and a summary of the history described in the allegory. The other segments explore insights from the allegory relating to those whose faith in themselves (part 2), in the Church (part 3), or in God (part 4) have been shaken. Join Jared Halverson as he discusses the longest chapter in the Book of Mormon.
